** Kate then gets disproportionate revenge by making him trudge through a back-breaking job and do all the work at home (it may in fact be proportionate retribution; Leonardo ruined her $3,000 equipment by tossing it in the ocean, and she planned for his paychecks to work off the debt).

* [[FindingABraInYourCar Finding Condoms in Your Car]]: Leonardo finds a stack of condoms in Kate's glove box. They're actually his, but he doesn't remember that. So he confronts Kate about her supposed infidelity, pointing out that, with him being sterile (she made that up), there's no good reason for her to have condoms in the car. Kate tries to come clean, only for it to turn into a CassandraTruth, as not only does he not believe her, but her kids and best friend confirm the fake story. Her friend then "confesses" to being a [[SexAddiction sex addict]] and leaving the condoms in Kate's car.

Despite a rough start, he starts enjoying his new life and gains a perspective on how horrible he was to everyone, ultimately choosing his new life over his old one in the end.

* ExiledToTheCouch: Initially, more like "exiled to the shed". Naturally, Kate isn't about to sleep with Leonardo, who assumes that he ought to be able to sleep with the woman claiming to be his wife. She makes up an excuse, claiming that he's a recently relapsed alcoholic, and thus he has to sleep in the shed (with a plastic bottle in lieu of a bathroom) until he regains his 30-day chip. Eventually, though, it turns into a straight example of this trope, as him becoming less of a {{Jerkass}} causes her to allow him to sleep on the couch. After some time, though, they do end up sleeping together in every sense of the term.
