Carrie is invited to her company's retreat for the first time and is overcome with excitement. Doug is not so thrilled, however, when he discovers that he must spend the whole weekend sans TV. While away, Carrie mingles with the other lawyers and partners while Doug stands by very uncomfortably. Doug then tries his best to charm the partners and in his effort ends up in a lie about climbing Mount Everest - much to the delight of Carrie who sees this as an opportunity to advance herself at work. Meanwhile Arthur, all alone at home in Queens, ends up destroying Doug and Carrie's bedroom and begs Deacon to help him hide the damage before they return home.
The King of Queens revolves around Doug Heffernan, a Queens, N.Y., parcel delivery man with simple desires. Among his prized possessions is a 70-inch television that his lovely wife, Carrie, provided for him. However, now that Carrie's widowed father, Arthur, lives with them, Doug's television room has become Arthur's bedroom. Doug and his sports-watching buddies, Spence and Deacon - and the beloved television - have been relegated to the garage, and Doug now shares his castle with a very eccentric father-in-law and his very unusual habits.
