Bob and Emily are forced to live separately for a few days when their apartment undergoes termite fumigation. As Emily stays with her friend, Bob prepares to endure a bachelor life with a bustling neighbor in his hotel room. However, neither is quite prepared for the emotional impact of being apart for the first time in their marriage. Emily revels in her newfound independence, spending her days working at a children's museum and going out with friends. Meanwhile, Bob struggles with his empty apartment and filling his time with simple activities like watching TV and reading the newspaper. As the days go on, both Bob and Emily begin to feel the strain of living apart. Bob becomes increasingly jealous of Emily's independence, while Emily misses Bob's companionship and support. When they finally reunite, they both realize how much they rely on each other and make a pact to never take their marriage for granted again. In the end, they come home to a newly fumigated apartment and a renewed sense of commitment to each other.
