The Goldbergs season 8 episode 1, titled "Airplane!," follows the eccentric Goldberg family as they embark on a wild adventure to Massachusetts. The episode starts with Beverly Goldberg planning a surprise birthday party for her husband, Murray, but things take a turn when Adam decides to put together a video tribute for his dad's birthday instead. After realizing the tribute isn't as exciting as he hoped it would be, Adam convinces his family to take a trip to Massachusetts to surprise Murray with a Celtics basketball game.

As the Goldberg family prepares for their trip, Beverly's overbearing nature and disregard for boundaries causes tension between her and her adult children. Meanwhile, Erica tries to assert her independence by convincing her siblings to leave without their parents, a plan that ultimately fails. With the entire family onboard, they embark on their adventure, but not without a few hiccups along the way.

During the flight, Adam struggles to use the airplane lavatory, while Beverly tries to make friends with the flight attendants. Erica, on the other hand, uses the flight as an opportunity to chat with a cute guy sitting next to her, hoping to impress him with her knowledge of basketball. Barry, always the showman, attempts to entertain his fellow passengers by performing magic tricks.

As they arrive in Boston, the family quickly encounters unexpected challenges. They get lost on the way to the hotel, and Barry loses his luggage. However, they eventually make it to the hotel and head to the basketball game, where they surprise Murray with tickets.

At the game, the family encounters Murray's old high school friend, who stirs up old memories and causes tension between Murray and Beverly. Despite the tension, the family enjoys the game and bonds over their love for basketball.

The episode ends with Adam and Murray sharing a heartfelt moment, as Adam presents his father with the video tribute he created. Touched by the gesture, Murray apologizes to Beverly for his behavior and the two reconcile, ending the episode on a positive note.

Overall, "Airplane!" captures the humor, heart, and chaos that The Goldbergs are known for. From Beverly's overbearing personality to Barry's antics, the episode delivers plenty of laughs while also exploring the family dynamics that make the show so relatable. It's a fun and heartwarming start to the new season.
