That evening, Alex prepares for his date with Megan (which was arranged offscreen). Wiseman takes some laundry to the laundromat, including some "sexy sheets". before he leaves, a woman named Casey Parker (Natalia Cigliuti) arrives to start work as a temp worker to help Alex with his music web site and meets the three men. Alex and Wiseman then leave.

Alex meets Megan (Jennifer Morrison) at a restaurant and finds out she had actually taken his 7th grade swim medal. However, during his din ner date he finds that Megan is a habitual liar, including claiming she had invented Pokémon. Meanwhile, Wiseman is on a date with a woman named Jolene (Valerie Geffner), who turns out to have a very short temper.

After Alex and Wiseman meet in the restroom, they hatch a plan to retrieve Alex's medal. After some hijinks and more lies by Megan, Wiseman retrieves the medal, and Alex feigns choking so that they leave the restaurant.
