In an interesting twist, Gene tags along with Nick when he must travel to Comic Con for business and promote his new comic book, "Incarnate." To get back at dad for all the awkward positions he has put him in over the years, Nick volunteers Gene and three-quarters of KISS to be his backing band at the comic's premiere party. While Nick leads the biggest band in the world through a live set of classics, Shannon and Tracy compete in a 5K to prove to a group of younger women they have still "got it.

Gene is asked to mentor kids from The Ludacris Foundation, a charity organization founded by the rapper that puts musical instruments into the hands of trouble kids. Gene will write a song and shoot a music video with them.
