Flash Mob (Frieriet),

Bruce is miserable because of the constant cold, dark weather. Bruce asks Berger and Viveka for their permission to marry Emma, out of tradition, but they insist Emma is against marriage because it is just not part of Swedish culture. Meanwhile, Emma struggles to get along with a new HR rep, Diane, who insists on making her more extroverted; Diane inadvertently creates a meme called #SadEmma. Berger and Viveka kick Gustaf out of the house so that he can learn to live on his own, but he moves in with Bruce and Emma. Bruce goes ring shopping and opts for a smaller, more traditional Swedish ring rather than a large, flashy American one. Gustaf tries to help Bruce propose with a flash mob, but it goes wrong and Emma never realizes she is being proposed to. Later that night, Emma casually asks Bruce if he wants to get married.

Searching for Bergman (Ljuden),

Amy’s celebrity friend, Jason Priestley, visits Stockholm and Bruce tries to impress him by being “the guy” – a local guide who can show them the coolest things to do in the city. The problem is that the only thing Jason wants to do is meet someone who worked with Ingmar Bergman. Not wanting to lose his newfound title as “the guy,” Bruce asks Bengt to pose as one of Bergman’s former assistant directors. Emma gives a presentation at the bank, but her boss Olof tries to take credit for her work. Bruce tells his mother Nancy that he and Emma are finally getting married.

Scrapbook (Skidresa),

Emma starts to get sick of Gustaf living in her apartment. Gustaf, to prove he is an adult, buys a dog and tries to find his own apartment; the broker mistakes him for an eccentric millionaire. He ends up living in an apartment that Emma’s workplace owns. Bruce takes Emma skiing even though he has never done it before and fails to get the hang of it. Berger and Viveka take a dance class together to get exercise, but Viveka gets jealous when Berger dances with other women.

American Club (Jag Älskar Dig),

Gustaf attempts to live without spending any money by buying new clothes and returning them after he’s worn them. Emma tells Bruce that Americans say “I love you” too much and that he should only say it when it is important. Bruce goes to the American Club and hits it off with a fellow American, Chuck. Chuck is a personal trainer and invites Bruce to come work out with him. Emma thinks Chuck is just trying to get Bruce to spend money at the gym, so to prove her wrong Bruce invites Chuck over for dinner – but Chuck bails at the last minute. Emma tries telling her parents she loves them but they think something must be horribly wrong.

Swedish Bachelor Party(Svensexa),

Bruce is kidnapped off the street and thrown into a trunk by Gustaf and his other friends – it’s a Bachelor Party surprise. Emma, similarly, is given a Bachelorette Party by her co-workers which goes awry when Olof accidentally gets her to say mean things about all of them. In order to get everyone to stop hating her, Emma convinces them to vandalize Olof’s office because he was the one who made Emma say everything. A drunk Bruce mistakes police officers for strippers and is arrested.

Hitting the Wall (Mr. Bajskorv),

Bruce gets sucked into coaching a kids basketball team. But once the kids realize he doesn't speak Swedish, they take full advantage. Bruce feels he's losing control and agrees to have Gustaf join as his translator. Only Gustaf doesn't translate, he intimidates and threatens the kids. Vivika coaxes Birger to run for board president so that he can thwart plans to change the attic (where he has his work bench) into another level of apartments. Birger, weak from the 5:2 diet they're on is incapable of holding his own in the meeting.

Drug Deal (Sjukskriven),

Bruce's celebrity client wants him to score some weed, which proves harder than Bruce anticipated. Gustaf brings Bruce to a "drug club" to help him score weed... only it's an NA meeting. Emma is "hitting the wall" and put on part time sick leave and required to go to group therapy, which takes up time, all while expected to do the same amount of work, causing MORE stress than before. Meanwhile, Bruce and Emma debate the issue of their last name once they're married.

Little Brucie (Fästman),

Emma is on leave from work and as she and Bruce lay in bed figuring out what to do together, Viveka lets herself into the apartment. They meet with the priest (a woman, which shocks Bruce) and it doesn't go well. Bruce gets his back up, starts in with things like God is a woman and the bride being "given away" by her father is a horrible tradition and walks out, waiting for Emma to follow, who never does. in fact, gets along quite well with the priest. Emma is concerned that all of this means that she and Bruce don't see eye to eye and therefore, they're not the right match. First she turns to her mom, who proves unhelpful. then to Lisa and when she sees how boring it is that Lisa and Peo are so agreeable, she realizes it's not so bad to have different opinions.
