The Odd Couple: Together Again

Felix Unger leads a dress rehearsal for Edna's wedding inside a ballroom at the Plaza Hotel. The rehearsal interferes with the hotel’s schedule for another event, and Felix’s ultimatum about an unmet request prompts staff to revoke the reservation. The setback foreshadows the broader wedding-day chaos to come.

Gloria, Felix's wife, decides to kick him out of the house for two weeks so she can plan the wedding without his perfectionist interference. The separation heightens the stakes of Edna's upcoming ceremony. Felix is left to navigate life apart from his meticulous routines.

Felix returns to Oscar Madison's apartment, where Oscar speaks with a raspy voice following throat cancer surgery. Felix is genuinely moved by his friend's illness and resolves to support him. This marks a rekindling of their long-running, if fractious, friendship.

Felix arranges a poker game with Oscar's buddies—Officer Murray Greshler, Homer 'Speed' Deegan, and Roy. He asks them to let Oscar win, hoping to lift his spirits. Speed breaks the ruse by winning and revealing the truth, but Oscar forgives the breach and keeps playing.

Felix helps Oscar perform voice exercises to strengthen his vocal cords. The improvement sets the stage for a potential voice-over gig in a television commercial. This marks a shift toward new kinds of public-facing work for Oscar.

Felix arranges for Oscar to join the New York Examiner as a personal advice columnist. Oscar's former secretary, Myrna Turner, transfers to help him, and he reluctantly accepts the position. He eventually resigns and passes the job to Myrna.

Felix hosts the engagement dinner at Oscar's apartment because Gloria’s painters are still at work. He bonds with Edna's fiancé, Bill Sutton, but soon learns Bill has been married and divorced twice, which unsettles Felix. The revelation compounds Felix's concerns about the wedding.

Edna asks Oscar to tell Felix to stop his meddling, fearing it will derail the wedding. Oscar tries to talk Felix out of it, but Felix remains determined. This marks the escalation of Felix's push to control the wedding outcome.

Felix goes to find Bill's second wife, a nudist, and ends up in a situation that results in a photo of Felix with her being returned to Gloria. The mishap deepens Gloria's anger and the tension around the wedding.

Gloria kicks Felix out of the wedding permanently and files an injunction against him. The disruption effectively removes him from Edna's ceremony. This forces a last-minute reshuffling of roles and duties.

To salvage the day, Felix asks Oscar to walk Edna down the aisle in his stead and to deliver a speech. Oscar agrees to step in for his friend and perform the duties with heartfelt sincerity. The moment underscores the deep bond between the two men.

In a dramatic turn, Felix, who had been hiding, is brought from behind the shrubbery to fulfill his duties at Edna's wedding. The crowd accepts him, and the ceremony proceeds with a blend of comedy and sentiment. The moment marks a reconciliation through shared family love.

After a lively reception, Edna intentionally tosses the bouquet to Jeannie, Oscar's girlfriend, signaling the playful, if complicated, camaraderie among the couples. The moment lightens the mood after the earlier tension. The reception caps the wedding with warmth and humor.

Oscar finally reveals that the toilet bowl voiceover offer had been filled elsewhere, and Felix pivots to offer him a role as the voice of the deep fryer in a potato chip ad, which Oscar accepts. The unlikely career twist provides a hopeful, comedic ending for both friends. The two characters look forward to new professional and personal beginnings.
