In "2 Good 2 B 4 Gotten," Wings explores the idea of nostalgia and the importance of memories as Joe and Brian take a trip down memory lane. The episode starts with the two friends reminiscing about old times and lamenting about how things were easier and simpler in their youth. Joe talks about his days as a hockey player while Brian talks about his time in college. The two decide to try to relive their glory days and plan to throw a party like the ones they used to have back in the day.

While Joe and Brian are busy with their plans, Helen is dealing with the less enjoyable aspects of adult life - jury duty. She is agonizing over the thought of spending weeks cooped up in a courthouse, listening to hours of testimony. Not one to take things lying down, she tries several tactics to get out of it - feigning illness, claiming extreme prejudice, even attempting to convince the judge that she is in fact, a fictional character from a TV show.

As the episode progresses, we see each character dealing with their situation individually, but with the plotlines slowly converging.
