Damon has taken his sister to the Lost Souls Cafe. He wants to recite a poem of his own inspiration. The piece involves his twin sister Darby and their connection in the mother's womb.

Jessica and Ronnie are seen in bed doing their thing. Ronny is in an amorous mood; his only desire is to have Jessi conceive a child that will solidify their marriage.

Ray has to go to get Mike to help him, something it is not too clear to the assistant coach, but he decides to to anyway.
The next thing we see is Mike and a somewhat bored Frances at the restaurant. He is clearly enjoying himself, even insisting in picking up the tab. The next day Mike, who was in the dumps, is another person. He enjoyed his night out with Frances. Mike wants to keep dating her.
This episode was not written by Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, the creators. Instead, the screenplay came from Eileen Myers, who has contributed to "Big Love" and other programs. Adam Davidson, another man with a lot of experience in television directed. The show followed the story line that has been the norm for the program.
Gregg Henry, who plays the assistant coach, Mike, has some good moments playing against Thomas Jane and Roxanne Hart, seen as Frances, the wealthy widow. Jane Adams has some fun telling off "Horny Patty", played by Laureen Weedman. The regulars contribute to make one of the most amusing series for adult audiences.
