Well, big news
in the Kerkovich-Williams house.
Jane's ex, Ryan is
coming into town,
- and they're having dinner.
- Oh.
We did a semester at Sea
together, and it was ages ago,
and I am just following
our rule, Brad.
- Whatever.
- We have this deal
that if an ex comes to town,
we're allowed one dinner
with them,
and the spouse can either attend
or not.
Well, I'm opting not to dine.
No offense to Ryan.
I just have a groupon
for a Ladysmith Black Mambazo
concert.
- Ooh.
- And I hate Ryan, sight unseen.
You're going to see
Ladysmith Black Mambazo?
Yes, I am ♪
Anyway, don't worry about
the check, guys.
I got this one.
- What? - Whoa.
- What?
I have a little bit of
disposable income these days.
Max, you cannot have
disposable income
when you owe us $11,000
and three cats.
You'll get those cats
when you get those cats, Jane.
And the reason I have
all this extra cashish
is because my new roommate
decided to pay me
five months' rent in advance.
Ah, yes.
El nuevo roommate.
When are we gonna meet
this guy?
Oh, no, you won't.
I told that guy that we are
gonna live
totally separate lives.
I will not make the same mistake
I made with my last roommate
and get all invested
in his personal business.
That was me.
Yeah.
And I will not make
that blunder again.
Okay, so Ryan is gonna be here
any-- what is happening?
I'm just doing some 'shups.
What do you got going on
that you don't have time
- to say "push-ups"?
- 'Shups for life!
Now to bulk up
on some of my whey powder.
Get here, fluffy stuff.
Just like that?
It's in my lungs!
Anyway--
Ohh!
Oh.
Listen, there's something
I need to tell you about Ryan.
I-I wasn't exactly--
Don't care, 'cause I'll be
spending my night
listening to
beautiful African harmonies
and forgetting about Ryan,
who is
A girl?
- Hi.
- Hi!
Oh!
Oh! Ryan, this is Brad.
Brad, Ryan.
- So great to meet you.
- Hey.
Jane, can I use your restroom
before we go? Long flight.
Yes, of course.
It's right through there.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I should've told you
earlier, but then I didn't,
and then it was weird and
are you mad at me?
- What do you think?
- Mm.
Hell, no! Wow!
It's 2013.
This is
the new normal.
Oh, my gosh.
I mean, I knew you dated girls
in your experimental phase,
but I never got
any of the hot details.
Okay.
Why don't we all stay in
for dinner, you know?
We'll get some wine out,
drink it up,
and really dig
into your sexy past.
It's gonna be an awesome night.
We're not gonna have
a 3-way.
It's gonna be
a pretty good night.
So besides withholding judgment
on your new goatee
what should we do this weekend?
Dinner with Brad and Jane?
Or Max is always
doing something weird.
Last week,
he pretended to be a psychic
and assisted the police
with a *** investigation.
And with his help,
they apprehended several
innocent people.
I thought we'd hang out
with my friends.
Your friends
Dave and Alex?
No, the friends I had
before we started dating.
You know, since we're
a real couple now,
I thought we'd hang out
with both of our friends.
Hmm.
Still not following.
- Sometimes we'll hang out with
your friends - Totally get that.
Sometimes we'll hang out
with my friends.
Now here's where you lose me.
Okay, Pen, imagine a world
where your friends don't exist.
Who would we hang out with?
Uh
- Rachel McAdams?
- No.
- Sully Sullenberger?
- Mnh-mnh.
Oh! Your friends!
Yes! There it is!
Wait.
Man, I guess
my new roommate Chase is
moving his stuff in today.
I hope he doesn't try to weasel
his way into our group
like my last roommate did.
Once again, still me.
Whoa!
Chase's stuff is awesome!
Look at these tchotchkes.
Whoa!
Hi.
Whoa!
Hey, Max.
Hey, Max's friends.
I'm Chase.
- You sure are.
- I'm headed to the gym,
but I stocked the fridge
with some beers.
I also got us a couple of pizzas
from Gino's.
Oh, and, Max,
I hope you don't mind,
but I upgraded your cable
to include the NBA package.
Later.
That guy is so cool!
Why would you want to live
a separate life from that guy?
Well obviously,
I'm regretting taking
such a hard stance on that now.
I mean,
is this restoration hardware?
This is a disaster.
We have
to find a way to fix this.
I got it.
It's so simple.
All we do is stay here, wait for
Chase to come back from the gym,
then we show him how cool
we are, and boom,
he'll wanna be best friends
with us forever.
Now, everybody, just kind of
act cool, you know?
Real cool-like.
Yes.
- What is that?
- Yeah, Dave.
Don't embarrass us
in front of Chase, okay?
So that was how I ended up
giving my mother a kidney.
Classic.
But can we be serious
for a moment?
'Cause I feel like
we've been talking,
but nobody's really said
anything
sexy.
Okay.
Let's not make Ryan
uncomfortable.
- H-hey.
- Ahem.
I just want you to feel free
to reminisce about
your time at Sea.
That's all.
I don't know,
like pillow fights
or kissing contests.
Maybe somebody's wearing
a little skipper's hat?
Okay.
I have
a sexy story for you.
- You do?
- Yeah.
I remember this one time
- Ohh.
- we were at port
at St.
Thomas.
- Oh, yeah!
- Mm-hmm.
And we had to camp out
in the rain.
Yes! Rain.
Wet.
Go with that.
And we were soaked.
Oh, I bet you were.
We had to strip down
to our tank tops.
- Paint it.
Paint a picture.
- Ahh.
- And we had to snuggle.
- Mmm.
To keep warm.
- Ohh.
- That's when things got pretty intense.
- 'Cause we just
- Oh.
- talked
- Oh.
all night about
feminist theory.
The end.
The end?
There's gotta be more.
- Well, there was one other thing.
- Yes.
Right.
That was, uh, when we said
that we loved each other.
- Right.
- What? No.
Huh?
Love?
Well
All right.
Great dinner.
We're gonna call it a night.
Jane and I will go
to our marriage bed,
and, Ryan, you can leave and do
whatever, and I don't care,
- and good night.
- Sorry.
I gave away my Ladysmith
Black Mambazo tickets for this?
Have you been up all night?
Uncle Jerry.
Yeah, but, you know,
it's paid off
'cause look what I can do
with the cards.
Wait.
Did Chase not come home
last night?
No.
No.
And I've had
a lot of time to consider
all of the possibilities
of what could've happened.
He definitely
got eaten by a bear.
Okay.
In the event that
that didn't happen,
we should probably get in touch
with him,
because it's roommate protocol.
It's a sacred bond.
I do not believe that
that is a real thing.
Bet you thought
it was pretty real
when I rescued you
from that well.
Oh, my God.
The well thing again?
You saved me from a well once,
and now I gotta hear it
for the rest of my life?
Guys, why don't we just
call Chase and make sure
that he's fine and that
he's not in a bear's stomach.
- Did you-- did you hear that?
- Did we all hear that?
Did you hear that?
- There's someone scoring our life.
- Somebody's scoring our life.
- Someone's scoring our life.
- Someone's scoring our life.
- Oh, it's his ring.
- Oh.
Why does Chase have
that ringtone? Hello!
Dave, I am on record
as saying you are an idiot,
but in this case,
I think you're right.
I mean, Chase could be
in serious trouble.
No one leaves their cell phone.
Unless
you happen to fall into a well.
Okay,
a real gentleman saves someone
from a well
and never mentions it again.
- Think, damn it!
- All right, guys,
- can't we just call Chase's
work or his family? - Dave
why don't
you leave the sleuthing
- to the pro sleuthers here?
- Yeah.
And besides, it is totally
obvious what we need to do.
So obvious.
- We gotta make sure we have, uh
- The clue.
- The proper DNA samples.
Blood.
Hair
- Get to the right-- find that other path
- that leads to that fork in the road.
- DNA makes sure that that gets to a lab.
Okay, I'm just gonna check
Chase's phone for texts.
- Check his phone!
- Check his phone!
Boom!
The most recent ones are
from a woman named Veronica.
You can never trust a Veronica.
You know, I had a boyfriend
named Veronica.
Turns out he was a woman.
- Oh.
- Okay.
What do we do next?
- We gotta contact CTU.
- First thing,
we gotta contact the CTU, the ICU.
- Yes.
- The ECU.
- 'Cause it--'cause there could be an
emergency.
- We-- we gotta contact TCU--
- Texas Christian University.
- And we'll find out through them.
Yeah.
I just texted Veronica,
pretending to be Chase.
She's on her way over
right now.
- Text--
- Text her
- Text her as Chase!
- As Chase!
Guys, come on.
Can we just
focus? You're acting silly.
Are you wearing
Chase's jacket, Dave?
Where does he get
such fine corduroy?
so then I just
asked her directly,
and it turns out it was
one big misunderstanding.
So
nothing else happened?
No obstacles you had to
hijinks your way out of?
No one brought a miniature pig
to a car dealership
to prove a point
about gender roles?
No.
We hardly ever use
tiny livestock to prove points.
Mm.
Ooh! Check out
red shirt diaries over here!
Spill much?
Have a little cheese with that
wine, you stupid clumsy ***!
Up top!
Oh.
Oh.
You guys don't do pile-ons?
I am so sorry.
Let me help you.
Uh, uh, wait--
waitress, some club soda!
D-did you want my shirt?
Or here's-- here's $100.
On second thought, the red
suits you.
You're beautiful.
'Cause you look so good,
I'm-a do it to myself.
No, no, no.
Duh, duh, duh.
And here we are
in our early days.
You can see
our love is blossoming.
In case you can't,
here's a bar graph showing
that she loves me more than
anyone or anything ever.
Look, the numbers don't lie.
This is science.
It took you five hours
to make this, huh?
Yep.
In between my 'shups.
He means push-ups.
'Shups for life!
Hey, um, I think that
I should probably go.
Oh.
Okay.
Sure.
Yeah.
Oh, man,
she's leaving.
No, don't go.
I really wish you
wouldn't leave.
Brad, what is going on with you?
You know that Ryan and I were
forever ago.
We're just friends now.
We're like Portia and Ellen.
Portia and Ellen are married.
What?
Portia's a lesbian?
- Yeah.
- Anyway, the point is,
we've dated a lot of people
in the past,
and we should be able
to be adult around our exes.
It's time to grow up.
You know what? You're right.
I'm sorry.
Let's have a do-over dinner
with Ryan tonight.
Okay?
I promise to be an adult.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Is that Photoshopped?
- Hmm?
Uh, no, it's not Photoshopped,
Jane.
It's Adobe cut and paste.
Hello?
Oh.
It's you, Veronica.
We've been waiting for you.
And we have
some serious quest-- ow.
- Damn it.
- God!
Why'd you guys
talk me into this?
You know I'm not good
at dramatic swivels.
Where's Chase?
Why don't you tell us,
tootsie pops?
You were the last person
to see him alive.
Alive? What are you guys
talking about?
You sure ask
a lot of questions, lady.
We found this briefcase
in Chase's room.
We need the combination
to get it open.
Did you even check
to make sure it was locked?
Oh.
I'm sure Chase just leaves
unlocked briefcases
all over the place.
I'm sure I'm just gonna
press these buttons here
- and it's gonna open.
- It opened.
Bye.
Idiots.
What's in it?
A gun? Cash?
Looks like
just a bunch of old bills.
You know what we need to do.
Yeah.
Just
- We gotta-- we gotta always be closing.
- Chase those leads and
- We gotta make sure we're always closing.
- We gotta close it.
We gotta close-- closing those.
- 'Cause closing is for closers and coff--
- Exactly.
This is Chase Reagan.
My credit card was stolen
about 20 minutes ago.
Could you tell me where the last
people it was used, please?
- Call the credit card company!
- Call the credit card company!
Chase's credit card was used
at a restaurant downtown.
Let's go.
You are not leaving the house
in Chase's glasses!
But I look like Dwight Howard.
No.
No.
He looks like
Rachel Maddow with a goatee.
Yeah.
That's even better.
That's why I think
we're not worried enough
about the debt ceiling.
Oh, I get it.
You're the Dave of the group,
always talking about stuff
nobody cares about.
We all care about this.
Yes.
Yes.
It is
a very, very serious issues.
And I was testing you.
You passed.
Jane and Brad are about
to eat dinner with her ex,
- who is a girl.
- Hmm.
And Alex says Chase is
missing and bears are involved.
- Who's Chase?
- Who cares, Pete? He's missing.
Okay, look, you put in a great
effort today with my friends,
and I appreciate it.
So would you like
to go see your friends now?
Please, yes!
Although if we leave without
an excuse, won't they get mad
and then, like,
ice us out of the group,
and then
everybody'll take sides
and then it's like,
"who gets the friends"?
No, Penny,
because they're normal.
Guys, we're gonna take off.
- See you later.
- Bye.
They're not buying it.
- Guys, we must take a flight
now to Europe.
- Oh, boy.
- It's a diplomatic emergency.
- No.
Time to go.
And I will see you all
when I'm back from
- Later.
- the continent.
Bye!
Brad, I really appreciate
you being so adult
about this whole Ryan thing.
Well, I'm just glad that we're
both being adult about this.
The both of us.
Which I'd why I've decided to
invite another adult to dinner.
My old friend Melissa
who also happens to be my ex.
What?!
Okay, so you invited
one of your exes to dinner?
Real adult, Brad.
"Real adult, Brad.
"
So, uh, Brad, you said this was
a business school reunion.
Is anyone else coming?
You know how it is.
You know, Rosen with work.
Franklin moved to England.
- Uh-huh.
- Chad and Lisa with the baby.
- Chad and Lisa had a baby?
- I don't know.
Probably.
I just feel like
we haven't talked in forever.
- You know?
- Uh
Especially for two people
who had such
a deep, emotional connection.
- Mm.
- I miss it.
See, I can respect a bond
that happened in the past.
Oh.
Jane, you have nothing
to worry about.
I mean, it was just a fling.
Purely physical.
Physical?
Totally in the past.
A lot has
changed for me since then.
Physical?
Oh, it was real physical.
Real physical.
Talking about sex
kind of physical.
- Mm-hmm.
- With socks off.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
And to completion
most of the time.
Correction--
all the times.
It was so hot.
But I'm sure you can be
an adult about it.
Right, Jane?
Of course I can.
Let's pick a new topic.
Have they come up
with any new soups lately?
Thank you
for coming to Brad and Jane's.
I'm sorry we left
your friends early,
but trust me, we are in for
one crazy roller coaster ride.
Whee!
Okay, gang, whoever abducted
Chase is here
and using his credit cards
while he's probably off
in the desert, alone and scared,
begging God for death.
The vultures are
picking at him.
There he is.
Well, well, well!
We have been searching
all over town for you.
Worried sick, mister.
And we find you having
a fancy steak dinner
with one of your floozers!
- Um--
- I'm sorry.
Who are you?
- I'm his roommate.
- And who are you, lady?
I'm his wife.
Whoa.
God.
You gotta be kidding me,
Chase! A roommate?
Are you really renting
another sex shack in the city?
He is so cool!
I knew you wouldn't change.
You know what?
Now I don't feel so bad about
sleeping with your brother.
Oh.
Ya see
there's a roommate protocol,
and I believe that
that leads to a sacred bond
- Mm-hmm.
- between two people under one--
Yep.
Uh, you see, uh, one time,
Max was caught in a well.
I could've gotten out
of that well.
- Yeah, but you didn't.
You didn't
get out of it.
- But I--
Wait.
Is that my jacket?
Yeah.
And that's why I think
everyone's just overreacting
to the debt ceiling.
- Ugh.
- Speaking of the debt ceiling
Mm-hmm?
Ryan, I remember, uh,
when you used to write me
those love notes.
What does that have
to do with the debt ceiling?
Shh!
Bad transitions means
the excitement's about to start!
Well, Melissa left me
a lot of notes, too.
Sex notes.
Some were even sent
through the federal mail,
so it was basically
a sex crime.
No.
No.
No.
That is
something completely different.
Regardless, it was hot.
I guess you were just
pleasuring women
all over the place.
And I guess you were just
lovin' everybody you meet!
Here we go!
Ooh! That's a nice deck.
I love a-a good deck.
I'm gonna go check it out.
Oh, uh, I-I'll join you.
I think we should go, too.
What?! No!
I mean, you're probably right,
but I'm telling you,
Max's thing is not gonna
be better than this.
What?! It was Chase's wife?!
And your place is his sex shack?!
And he works out?!
This is so much better!
Well
- she's definitely leaving me.
- Oh.
And since I work for her dad,
I've also lost my job.
Ohh, that's messed up, man.
I bet your brother gets
that job.
It's been a tough day.
What do say
we all get back home
to that nice,
buttery leather brown couch
and just chill out?
No, I'm not living with you.
- And I'm also taking my stuff back.
- Man!
And just so you know
sometime in the near future,
I am going to ruin your life
like you ruined mine.
That guy's so cool.
I know! I'm totally shaking
in my boots.
Do you think that
that's gonna come back
to haunt me eventually?
- No.
- Yes.
Penny, I gotta admit,
your friends are a lot of fun.
Yay! Then it's settled.
We'll only hang out
with my friends.
- Come on.
- I'm kidding! I'm kidding.
- We'll hang out with your friends
- Okay.
when mine are busy.
Mmm.
Congratulations.
Crack the whip, girl!
You always said it was
just an experimental phase.
Well, I'm sorry that I forged
such a deep connection with Ryan
that she never got over it.
Well, I'm sorry
I gave the good stuff to Melissa
in a way that no man could
ever repeat!
Oh, come on!
Is everybody a lesbian now?!
Fudge!
Fudge! Fudge! Fudge!
Brad, I'm so sorry.
I mean, we could've
avoided all of this
if I had just told you
the truth about Ryan.
Well, I shouldn't have gotten
so upset.
I don't know.
I just thought I was gonna hear
about all the fun, sexy stuff,
and then she said
all the love stuff,
and I wanna be
the only person you ever loved.
Aw! Boo!
Mmm.
You're the person I love
the most,
and I always will.
A-and just so you know,
sex with Melissa
wasn't even that great.
I mean, she never really seemed
that into it.
Oh! Right.
Right.
Yeah, she does not enjoy
my anatomy.
Mnh-mnh.
Mnh-mnh.
Hey, just to avoid
any future confusion,
which of your other exes
were girls?
Oh.
Yeah.
- Well, uh, Sydney was a girl.
- Mm-hmm.
Tracy was a guy.
- Aaron was a girl.
- Jordan was a guy.
Lane was a girl.
- Uh, Morgan was--
- Stop.
Just no more, please.
It's just, uh
And Brad is a
man.
- The man.
- Mm-hmm.
Mmm.
My man.
Mmm.
Okay, Brad, that's enough.
Aw! Just five more minutes.
You said that five minutes ago.
Time for bed now.
Oh.
I hate bed.
Mm.
Say thank you to
the nice ladies.
Thank you, nice ladies.
Okay.
I never get to have any fun.
Ohh.
We're about to go upstairs
and have sex right now.
Ooh! Can you check
my pants for monsters?
I always do.
Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.
- Eyes forward.
- Okay.
Eyes forward.
Left, right.
Left, right.
