Despite being madly in love with each other, the two quickly fall into their old habits of arguing and bickering over every little thing. Archer becomes increasingly annoyed by Lana's obsessive-compulsive behavior, and Lana, in turn, becomes frustrated with Archer's laziness and lack of consideration.
Their relationship is put to the test when they are stranded on a deserted island after their boat capsizes in a storm. They are forced to rely on each other to survive and find a way off the island. As they struggle to stay alive, they begin to realize how much they truly love and depend on each other.
Meanwhile, back at the resort, the rest of the Archer gang is enjoying their vacation and is completely unaware of the newlyweds' predicament. Pam, Cheryl, and Cyril are getting drunk and causing chaos around the resort while Krieger is trying to woo the bartender.
As Archer and Lana continue to fight for survival on the island, they also start to explore their feelings for one another and finally begin to communicate in a meaningful way.
