Dick
realizes that he’s beginning to be attracted to women other than
Mary and that maybe he’s ready to start dating. Tommy and Harry
find a wallet and return it to its owner; at first they’re pleased
to have done a good deed but change their minds when Mrs. Dubcek
says they should have been given a reward. Dick strikes out in his
first attempts to attract women; Sally observes that women don’t
even have to be nice to men and they still grovel. Sally, Officer
Don and Dick are at the Policeman’s Ball, and Dick once again is
having no luck with the women; Sally, on the other hand, continues
to attract men no matter how rude she is. Tommy and Harry show up
at Rick’s door (the man whose wallet they returned) hoping for a
reward, but Rick gives them nothing. Dick goes along with Tommy’s
suggestion that he place a personals ad, and he manages to get a
date. Dick and Mary are mortified when it’s revealed that she’s
the one responding to his personal ad. Sally’s doing research on
how abusive she can be before some guy tells her to go to hell.
Dick, convinced he’ll be dateless forever, buys himself a model
train set. Officer Don fixes Dick up with a date, Celia; they go
on a double date with Don and Bibi, a woman he met at the Policeman’s
Ball. Don tells Dick not to worry; if things start getting awkward
for Dick, Don will help him out. When Rick offers Harry and Tommy
money to stop hounding him, they refuse, saying virtue is it’s own
reward. When Sally’s date Paul doesn’t complain when she serves
him raw chicken, she ends the experiment in disgust. And after his
date Dick decides that the key to success with women is not self-confidence
but self-loathing.
