Jean-Luc gets into another confrontation with Patti over infidelity. He finds out that she  has lost interest in her mariage because he lost interest in her. Jean-Luc tells her that her husband isn't a mind reader and that she needs to express her concerns. she complies and Jean-Luc gets Dave to talk to her.
Al and Will meet up with his uncle at his van. He introduces himself as Buzz and pulls a few bonehead moves, which persuades Al not to try Marijuana. She returns to Karen and the untrusting, Dana. 
During the credits a burglar is roaming around the house at night; stealing the two candle holders on the mantle and the stereo on the middle-shelve on the right side of the living room set. All of a sudden the front door busts open with smoke/fog all around and  an police officer at the door.
