Twenty years afterwards, 37-year-onetime Mike finds his life stagnant and boring, abandoning any projection he starts. Scarlet, now his wife and mother of their two children, has filed for divorce, forcing him to move in with his geeky, yet extremely wealthy, best friend, Ned Gold. He has quit his task afterwards he is passed over for a promotion he believed he deserves, and his high-school-age kids, 19-year-old Maggie and 16-yr-one-time Alex, desire nothing to do with him.

After convincing Ned of his identity, Ned believes that Mike's transformation was caused past a mystical spirit guide who is trying to steer him on a better path. Mike enrolls in loftier school posing as Mark Gold, Ned'southward son, and plans to go to college on a basketball scholarship.

Through their kids, Mike spends time with Scarlet, who notes his remarkable resemblance to her hubby, but rationalizes it every bit an odd coincidence. Deciding to also effort and fix his relationship with Ruby, Mike begins to terminate (under the pretense of getting "volunteer credit") all of the garden projects he abased as an adult. He does his best to divide Stan and Maggie while also encouraging Alex to exist more than confident so he can make the basketball game squad and go out with a girl he has a crush on named Nicole. Mike has difficulty resisting his want for Ruby-red despite the relationship's clear inappropriateness. Ned, meanwhile, begins to pursue the school'southward principal Jane Masterson through increasingly extravagant stunts in society to win her affections, which she doggedly rebukes, though she agrees to a appointment subsequently he offers to purchase laptops for the schoolhouse.
On their date, Jane is completely unimpressed with Ned until he drops the "sophisticated rich-guy" persona and admits he is actually a geek. Jane then reveals her own enthusiasm for geek culture by speaking to him in Elvish, and the two hit information technology off. Mike throws a party to celebrate a basketball game win at Ned's house while Ned is out with Jane, where he confronts Stan, who had recently dumped Maggie for not sleeping with him. Mike gets knocked out and wakes upwardly to Maggie trying to seduce him. Mike tells his daughter that he is in honey with someone else and Maggie leaves, much to Mike's relief. Ruby-red arrives at the party worried about her kids attending, but Mike shows her that Alex has finally managed to get together with his shell. The two have an intimate conversation where Mike, caught up in the moment, tries to osculation her. Disgusted, she storms off as Mike tries unsuccessfully to explain his truthful identity.
On the 24-hour interval of the court hearing to finalize Scarlet and Mike's divorce, Mike makes one last effort to win her back (as Mark) by reading a supposed letter from Mike. He states that although he couldn't set up things right in the beginning of his life, it doesn't change the fact that he even so loves her. Afterward he exits, Carmine notices that the "letter" is actually the directions to the court and she begins to grow curious. As a outcome, she postpones the divorce by a month. Frustrated that he could not salvage his union, Mike decides to once again pursue a scholarship and move on with a new life. During a high school basketball game, Mike reveals himself to Carmine. As Crimson runs away, Mike decides to chase her down, but like he did in 1989, but not before handing the ball off to his son.
