For
a Lifeforms promotional appearance, Cybill visits a petting zoo.
She is bitten by Silas the Lamb in front of news cameras and curses
out the animal, causing a little boy to cry. Animal-rights activists
cry foul. To atone, Lifeforms producers arrange for her to be reunited
with the lamb at an animal rights banquet. At the trattoria, Cybill
and Maryann meet two eligible bachelors. Cybill’s date, Jim Hicks,
is much younger than she is. Maryann’s date is a veterinarian named
Dr. Richard Thorpe. Because of his name, Maryann is hesitant about
getting involved. Two weeks later, Cybill has been dating her younger
man and trying to keep from having sex with him until they have
emotionally bonded. Maryann takes Richard as her date to the banquet.
Sensitive to her fears about his name, Richard introduces himself
as Barney Rubble. Maryann has found her man. Meanwhile, Cybill and
Ira get into a fight over Cybill’s new boyfriend. Ira thinks the
guy is too perfect. Cybill is called to the podium to make her presentation
with Silas. Silas pees on Cybill’s shoes and Cybill loses it again.
Cybill is informed she’s been fired and will be replaced by Lamb
Chop, the puppet. Ira apologizes for butting in where he doesn’t
belong. He tells Cybill her track record with relationships speaks
for itself. Later, Cybill goes to see Jim, sure they will finally
get together. In the middle of their fireside dinner, his mother
stops by. She is an exact replica of Cybill. Cybill dumps Jim before
she can get involved in his production of "Oedipus Rex."
