Joey flies his blue-collar father out to Hollywood to attend his big movie premiere, but Joey gets upset when he discovers that the elder Tribbiani isn't impressed by his surging acting career. Meanwhile, Joey's billboard on Sunset Boulevard is upstaged by a sexy billboard of Carmen Electra (who plays herself); and Bobbie goes on a liquid diet for Joey's premiere.

Joey is moving out, but things don't really go as planned as his new house burns in fire. Joey also inadvertently tells Jimmy that Michael is his son.
