Episode #306 "Part Time Lover"

Walt, at loose ends because the dump has closed and his job ended, is driving everyone crazy because he has nothing to do. He's been hanging around Lily so much that she's finding it hard to have any alone time with Brad. At the bar, Eddie's affair with Nicole is heating up, and he's so distracted that Sean's getting frustrated. Eddie's not doing any work! To make matters worse, they're conducting their affair mostly at the bar, and Sean keeps walking in on them. He can't believe he's saying it, but Sean never wants to see Nicole naked again. When Eddie hears Nicole talking on the phone to someone named Lomax, Eddie asks if Nicole is cheating on him. She responds that she's cheating on Lomax with Eddie. Claudia and Henry are having a battle of wills over food. Claudia tells Henry he's not getting up from the table until he eats his eggs. No problem, says Henry, he's got all day. Sean tells Claudia he's worried about Eddie. Nicole has another guy, and Sean thinks that Eddie's taking it hard. Claudia says it's good enough for Eddie; he's treated women badly all his life. Even so, says Sean, Eddie's his little brother, and he hates to see him hurting. Lily and Jimmy decide that their grandfather needs a girlfriend to distract him from them. Their solution is to place a personal ad on the net. Sean tells Eddie he has to stop dating Nicole, because she already has a boyfriend. But Eddie says he likes Nicole; she's charmingly indifferent. Sean just thinks Eddie deserves something better. At the bar, Eddie place an anonymous call to Lomax, telling him that Nicole has a new guy and doesn't love him. Lomax calls back immediately (he used star-69). Eddie tells him to come to the bar and look him up, but describes Sean when he tells Lomax what he looks like. Brad and Lily tell Walt about the personal ad and that they've fixed him up with a date. Carla arrives for the date with Walt, and Bard and Lily realize that Carla's a man. They check the ad in which they've written that Walt's a TV enthusiast. It dawns on them that in this case TV doesn't stand for television. Lomax arrives at the bar and approaches Sean. He threatens to kick Sean's ass for messing around with his girlfriend. They have each other in headlocks when Eddie steps in and says he's the guy that Lomax wants. Sean and Lomax go at it again, and Walt, who's just come in, breaks it up. Eddie tells Nicole she has to choose between him and Lomax. In that case, Nicole chooses Lomax. And Walt tells Lily that many grandfathers would be upset with a granddaughter that set them up with a cross dresser, but actually he and "Carla" have gotten to be friends. They're going together to the OTB, and Walt certainly hopes that means off-track betting.
