Premise

The Bennett-Blatt family do not have much in common with each other as they go through their everyday lives in Akron, Ohio. When a foghorn is heard, the actors break character in order to have a live studio audience decide what happens next. From there, the audience gets to vote on what happens to the family, and they are presented with three choices during certain scenes. If there is a tie between two options, both of them will take place. No matter what happens, they'll have to "just roll with it", as said by the actors.

Someone vandalized the lockers with "BB!" and everybody thinks it's Blair. She decides to take this matter to student court. Owen acts as her lawyer and Ruth acts as the prosecution with Mr. Penworth as the judge. The trial starts off bad and then gets worse when the audience sees a can of spray paint with the same color as on the lockers fell out of her backpack. Blair decides to fire Owen for not defending her. He walks around in the hallway and talks to the janitor Bonesy. Then, in the middle of the trial, Owen comes in with new evidence. He says that the "BB!" doesn't stand for Blair Bennett, it stands for Basement Bruhs, the name of Norvin Schnuckle's video channel. Everyone deduces it was him. Then, he snaps out of his dull phase being dragged away kicking and screaming, "I AM AKRON! I AM THIS TOWN!"

BEATZ 101 is broadcasting a charitable Christmas special called "Christmas with Byron and The Gator" as Rachel runs a tight ship making sure that everything goes off without a hitch like confiscating crew members' cell phones and locking the restrooms. For the main entertainment, Rachel has booked an old boyfriend of hers named Sven the Magnificent which causes Byron to get jealous and Blair to claim that most of his magic tricks involve a trap door. When Sven's magic props are destroyed and Sven faints, Rachel works to keep the Christmas special afloat as Owen works to solve the mystery. After getting alibis from Blair, Rachel, Byron, and The Gator, Owen starts to put the clues together. Because of the crew members make a call to her bosses, Officer Tabitha McKlunky shows up to turn the special into a crime scene. Owen has solved the mystery and discovered that a crew member named Ken was responsible where he confesses that it was payback to Rachel for denying his fellow crew members access to the restroom. Officer McKlunkly was given authority to let that slide as she considers Rachel's actions to be worse. As part of the authority that her bosses gave her, Officer McKlunkly has Rachel subjected to the Festive Face Smasher that was covered in cream. Afterwards, The Gator reveals the call he received from Sir Liam Gooch who states that Rachel's onscreen comeuppance was enough to boost the ratings and donations through the roof.
