The episode starts with Jessica Huang being overly excited about getting an award from the Women in Business Association. However, she ends up getting disappointed when she realizes that it's an unutilized organ donor award, which leads to the irony of the episode's name.

As the Huang's get ready for the big night, Eddie decides to help Nicole get a job at Cattleman's Ranch so that she could help her dad out with the bills. On the way to the restaurant, Eddie and Nicole talk about their future plans, and Eddie realizes he doesn't know what he wants for his life.
