Plot for the third season of Close Enough

The show has gained a devoted following since its inception, thanks to its accessible yet ridiculously humorous storyline, which ranges from illegal hot sauce rings to Twilight Zone-style open houses. An adult animated show wouldn't be complete without a few existential problems, just as Bridgette points out,

“Are all adult activities just kids activities with drinking?”

With disastrous mini-golf experiences and thrilling flume log rides, the trailer for Season 3 wastes no time introducing the cast to the fantastic exploits that await them. Josh is shown dressed as Mordecai from Regular Show, in the show's Halloween episode. Quintel, who plays both characters in the series, gets a great shout-out here.

With Josh, Emily, and their daughter, Candice, desiring genetically modified, presumably possessing pumpkins and fleeing vinegar-infused volcanoes, the show's dark humor is on full display.

All of the primary characters are on a joyride in what appears to be wedding attire, with Josh and Emily dressed in a tux and long white gown. The art and trailer promise a truly wild adventure, no matter what upscale event the couple goes to.
