Charlie hears Jake trying to write a song for his ex-girlfriend, whom he caused to break up with Jake after encouraging Jake to cheat on her. He tries to help Jake with advice but Jake gets shot down anyway.
Alan and Herb's Friendship[]
After yet another bad dating experience Alan tries to get Charlie to go out to eat with him, saying he craves human connection. Charlie shoots him down but about that time Herb comes to drop Jake off.
So Alan asks if Herb wants to go grab a bite to eat with him. Herb is nervous at first, but Alan makes a joke that they have something in common: they're both not sleeping with Judith. So Herb agrees and they have a wonderfully dorky time eating at the Mall and telling silly jokes to each other. Then Judith calls, Herb is honest and tells her he's there with Alan. Judith apparently is quite upset by this. Herb tells her they'll talk when they get home. He then asks Alan how work's going but quickly interrupts him and heads home to Judith. They make plans for an outing tomorrow.
But when Alan goes to pick Herb up, Judith meets him at the door and tells him she and Herb have decided the friendship is unnatural. Alan gets angry and goes around the house, calling to Herb and throwing a small rock at the window. A Romeo and Juliet scene then takes place between the two, ending with Herb trying to climb out the window on the rose trellis and falling. Judith comes to the window and demands to know what's happening and Alan takes off, Herb calling for him to take him with him.
Back home, Alan, Jake and Charlie are sitting on the couch in sorrow. Charlie is reminded that it's Sunday and runs off as his girlfriend's coming home. Jake gets a phone call from a girl and takes off. Alan daydreams about Herb before hearing a knock at the door. It's Herb, saying they don't have much time since Judith thinks he's at physical therapy. The show ends on that bromance moment.
Jake, naming what he loves. Charlie names the first two before Jake names all three.
