Men, Women & Dogs S1:E2

Pilot

While on the job, Jeremiah hits on a woman with his usual pick-up: getting her to take one bite of his chocolate cake, then luring her away from her date. After having sex, Royce asks his date to reimburse him $30 for a $120 meal, because he figured it would only come out to $90. Michelle just wants to get close to Eric, but Betsy keeps getting in the way. At the dog park, Clay obliviously tells the tale of his girlfriend, Jocelyn, who's returning from Southeast Asia weeks late...because she met up with a guy in Germany who had an extra ticket to Cambodia. Clay doesn't put two and two together until he goes to the airport with his new puppy to pick her up. Jeremiah tries to cheer up Clay, but he doesn't want to take advice from a womanizer who gives his best love to his dog. Michelle has trouble making out with Eric with Betsy staring at them. Jeremiah pulls his cake manouevre on a second girl, who soon takes him back to her place. Then he finds out she loves food as much as he does,

Clay takes a liking to Summer, a street artist who takes a liking to his face. He agrees to let her sketch it. At the restaurant, Royce thinks he's finally found his equal in Kim, a penny-pincher who tells Jeremiah he overcharged her -- by a quarter. Plus tax! They agree to split dinner sometime. Zajac tracks Jeremiah at work to beat him down. While Summer is sketching Clay on the beach, she tries to get him to strip naked, but when he refuses, she says she'll just work around it.

He does, after which they have dirty sex and talk cheap to each other. Literally. Clay returns to Summer's st

A Bulldog Scorned

Michelle kicks Betsy out of the bedroom after the dog licks her foot. Royce shares the story of how he met Pamela, a girl he caught driving the car he wants into a used lot, while Jeremiah does likewise with how he unsuccessfully tried to fix up Clay on a double date, only to have both girls when Clay bolts. After Betsy pushes Eric's skateboard to another woman, Michelle suspects she is trying to have her master's girlfriend replaced. Royce buys Pamela's car, and finds out $300 of the price goes to Pamela, because she ""referred"" him to the dealership. Michelle has to wear her nerd glasses after Betsy deliberately eats her contact. Jeremiah tries to force Clay to work Audie to pick up chicks. And Royce tries to get Pamela to split the referral fee with him -- while they're in bed. Michelle rigs the house with a hidden camera in hopes of having evidence to show to Eric of Betsy destroying her stuff. The dog catches on and destroys the camera instead.

She cancels it, because she's brought her handsome study partner, Jim, over. Clay's looking for a new roommate, and Jeremiah learns, much to his amusement, that Royce still lives at home with his mom, Jan. Michelle suspects Eric is jealous of Jim, but the only thing Eric is jealous of is Jim playing with Betsy. At Jeremiah's first class, instructor Heather and his weird classmates are offended when he refers to Wolfgang as ""his dog"" and says he wants to ""train"" him. A guy thinks Wolfgang has a sixth sense, and was barking because the woman is evil, while a vet tells Jeremiah to shut the dog up with nighttime cold medicine. Jeremiah's taunts prompt Royce to tell his mom he

Kibbles & Grits

After Jeremiah spins another cake tale, Royce says he swiped a piece and put it in his freezer...just in case. Michelle still loathes Betsy's attitude towards her, so Eric recommends therapy. For the dog. Cindy Waters, a former fling of Jeremiah's, bumps into him, but he barely recognizes her since she put on 200 lbs., thanks to one bite of his you-know-what. Jeremiah shrugs off Clay's comments that he should feel guilty, until, during his next move, he envisions turning another one fat.

Eric, who nearly forgot the occasion, shows Jeremiah and Royce the necklace he got for Michelle. At The Strand, Danielle cuts her first date with Clay short after she gets bored listening to him talk about Jocelyn...among other things. Plus, she's had her eye on Jeremiah all along. So she asks him out, claiming she and Clay didn't click. Eric wakes up on anniversary day to find Betsy ate the necklace. He rushes the dog over to the vet, but when he refuses an operation to get it out, the vet recommends using some stimulation to speed up the recovery process.

Dog Day Afternoon and Night

Jeremiah seeks Clay's advice when a woman he did, Deena, leaves a message that makes it sound like he's a father. When Eric goes out and leaves Betsy home with Michelle, she accidentally locks the dog in the dryer, then thinks it got loose. Michelle gets Jeremiah and Clay to help her find the dog, but Eric arrives home earlier than expected, leaving her no choice but to come clean. The gang split up to search, with Jeremiah and Clay the first team, Eric and Michelle the second team and Royce... well, no team. Jeremiah tells Clay he plans to marry Deena. Angry that the others didn't want his help, Royce hopes he'll find Betsy and win them over. Instead, he finds a window looking into the bathroom of a bunch of hot girls bathing. Eric and Michelle put up wanted posters, while Royce peeps at the half-dressed girls. Until he gets caught, anyway. On film. Jeremiah and Clay pay a visit to Deena's house, but it's not what they thought; Jeremiah didn't get her pregnant, Wolfgang got her dog pr

A Fetching New Lawyer

Royce hits on a beautiful woman, Sandra, but when he pretends to be admiring her wardrobe rather than her body, she thinks he's gay. Michelle nervously awaits the belated arrival of her bar exam results. Royce decides to use Sandra's assumption to his advantage by going to her place to cuddle and watch her try on clothes. Michelle thinks it's weird that Eric rented out The Strand for Betsy's surprise birthday party. She reluctantly goes, and finds out Eric threw the party for her for passing the bar -- the results of which came and he hid. Jeremiah meets Nina and fails to seduce her, as she's not into food. Michelle tells Eric she doesn't care he opened her mail because she passed. Eric admits he doesn't even know if she passed since he didn't open her mail. Now she cares since, unlike him, she isn't sure that she did pass. Royce tells an unamused Clay that he's going to get Sandra drunk, then say he's having ""confusing feelings."" Eric gives Michelle the letter, but she panics and won'

Top Dog

On their day off, Eric suggests he and Michelle finish up their love-making grand tour of the apartment in the laundry room. Jeremiah tells the guys that the personnel director for Vintage Cruise Lines, Teri Forrester, was so impressed with his cooking that she called him over with the offer of a lifetime: come on board as the highly-paid executive chef for their new ship. It's an offer he can't refuse, but Clay thinks his boss, Stan, won't be happy when he hears his top dog wants to quit. Royce sees Clay going to the laundromat, and tries to butter him up so he'll do both their loads. But since Royce pulled this scam before with the broken promise of paying him back, Clay refuses as he's tired of Royce's mooching. Royce heads down to the laundromat anyway to let Clay know he wants to change. To prove it, he pays him back for the last time he did his laundry. But it turns out this is a new scam where he pretends to have forgotten his change. Clay sees right through it and recommends Ro

The Magic Three-Legged Sex Dog

Since Jeremiah doesn't want to end up alone and Michelle doesn't think he's about to find Miss Right at the park, she invites him and Clay to join her yoga class, which is full of prospective single women. Jeremiah and Clay join and can't handle the activities, but it's no pain, no gain when Michelle introduces them to Sarah and Jenna. Perhaps more pain than gain when the pair let them know they practice ""The New Celibacy"": waiting six months to have sex. Royce goes to the pound to get a free mutt, but is told by the clerk, Debbie, that he'll have to pay for license and shots. That is, unless he agrees to take the unwanted three-legged dog, Lucky, off their hands. Since Royce isn't fazed by Lucky's lack of a leg, Debbie is

Cheese Dog

Figuring they'll hear about it anyway, Clay confesses to Eric and Royce how he arranged to meet a chick he had been writing to on the internet, only to find out the hard way that she's a he. The vet tells Eric that Betsy is too fat and needs a change in diet. She's horrified when Michelle shows her Eric feeds the dog cheese. While working out at the gym, Jeremiah recommends Clay stop trying to find the perfect woman and start letting the perfect woman try to find him. No sooner than he says it than Kristle, a hot personal trainer, comes up to Clay to tell him he's using the equipment wrong and she'd like to show him how it's done. Later, they go back to her place and she really shows him how it's done. The day after, Clay introduces Kristle to the guys, who quickly size up how vacant she is. Jeremiah congratulates Clay on his new conquest, but manages to offend anyway when he tells him that, for the first time, he's going out with a girl for no other reason than she's hot. Insisting he
