Plot

After five years of struggle, Rob finally finishes his first book. As Laura reads it, she discovers its about their life from marriage proposal to a point shortly after Ritchie's birth.

Rob and Laura put aside all else for one evening after Rob tells her that he has finished the manuscript for his first book. He hopes Laura will read the manuscript while he watches her, nervously trying to gage her reaction, but she'll have none of that. As Laura starts reading, she is excited to learn that the book is the story of their life, and she begins to reminisce about the situations written. Regardless of Laura's reaction, Rob is equally as anticipatory about the reaction of the publisher to whom he sent the manuscript.—Huggo

Rob informs Laura that he finally finished his autobiography and shows her the manuscript. As she begins to read it, a series of flashbacks from earlier episodes is seen, including Rob's marriage proposal, their attempts at getting married, Ritchie's birth, and when Rob thought they'd brought home the wrong baby. Rob then leaves to deliver the manuscript to his publisher, tripping over the ottoman one last time as he heads out the door. The tag scene finds the entire cast gathered in the Petrie's living room, where Rob announces that although the publisher hated his manuscript, Alan Brady loved it and plans to produce it as a television series as soon as his own series ends, whenever that may be. He will play Rob while Rob, Buddy and Sally will write it. The episode ends with Rob and Laura sharing one final kiss for the cameras before fading into television history.—The A Train
