I don’t remember what happened, but I’m rewatching that far now, just because there’s so few of us who watch it.
It starts off with Erv doing a book signing. Nothing much happens there other than them idiotically giving away the book instead of charging for it, someone complaining about typos, and Andy wants to know if there’s anything about him in the book.
Hannah and Bright get phone calls from Amy and Ephram, both reporting that they slept together (when? I forget) and haven’t spoken since then. Hannah thinks this is good, Bright doesn’t.
Opening Credits
Bright complains to Ephram that they shouldn’t have gotten back together, and Ephram insists he doesn’t know if they’re back together or not.
Andy and Deliah are apparently back from a trip I don’t recall them taking, because Nina welcomes him back then whines a bit about having to kick Dr. Jake out because he’s a druggie, and how it makes her feel guilty because she wasn’t there for him and her son loves him. Weirdly, Andy seems to think she needs to talk to him instead of cutting and running. Makes me think he really doesn’t like to “think of her as a woman” per mentioned ages ago.
Hannah and Amy talk about Ephram, and how Hannah knew they’d get back together because he obviously still loved her. Ephram helps some kid get ready to audition for Juliard, Andy declares Erv’s book to be crap, Andy then demands to know why they’re not in school. The kid says that he worked out a deal to get out of school early, and Ephram says it’s like he did. Andy points out that he’s now in community college.
Amy and her professor chat about why she’s spacy in class - a boy the professor guesses (am I getting too old to appricate teen drama? I’m finding myself deeply not caring about Amy and Ephram this episode). Wise professor-woman gives her some advice and invites her to a party. Weird.
Andy goes and bitches Erv out about the fictional Andy in the book, because the fictional character died alone of a broken heart. Erv points out that Andy is still heart-broken, and has yet to find another woman he can spend a life with. Erv kind of sort of agrees when Andy says that women don’t expect men to commit or something stupid like that.
Amy and Ephram discuss not avoiding each other. Amy claims to be “confused” and needs to work things out. They plan to talk things over in a couple of days.
Deliah’s being a brat because she’s popular. He bitches that she needs other friends, like that nice Emily girl. Andy tells her that he read her e-mail and how he’s disappointed about “operation fat cow.” Deliah flips out and ends up telling him that he lied to Julia all the time, and that Julia hated him for it.
Nina meets with Dr. Jake who says that he’s getting help and leaving town. She says he doesn’t have to leave, he insists that he needs to so he can do things on his own. She doesn’t kiss him good-bye.
Kid’s mom calls Ephram asking if he knows where he is, since he’s been skipping school a lot. He confronts Kid, who says he doesn’t need school cuz he’s gonna be a pro musician. Ephram tells him that he’s being an idiot since he doesn’t even have an interview yet yada yada.
Edna wonders why the hell Harold wants stuff about adoption, Harold comes in reading the book, and Andy says he ought to sue for liabel. Harold follows wondering what’s going on and follows him to his office where they begin talking about Julia’s affair. And then you’re where you started.
