* MagnificentBastard: [[TheBadGuysAreCops Gary Kingsbury]], the seemingly socially awkward neighbor of [[HappilyMarried Max and Annie Davis]], is actually much more cunning and intelligent than he lets on. Hoping to get himself re-instated in Max's game night sessions, Gary hires criminals to kidnap Max's brother, Brooks, while giving Max and his group clues that would lead to Brooks' location; Among those clues involve them having to spend game night with Gary. Eventually reaching Brooks location, Gary fakes getting lethally shot tricking Max and Annie into promising Gary that he would be invited in future game nights should he survive. Though initially frustrated when Gary reveals his role as the mastermind, they can't help but respect Gary for pulling off such an impressive plan and keep their promise, inviting Gary to the next game night.
