When Alan learns Walden knows Lynda Carter, he asks him to set him up on a date with her. Against his better judgment, Walden agrees to invite her to the house for dinner.
Plot[]
Alan and Walden are unable to sleep due to Jenny and her friend's antics.
Later in the morning, Walden's mother, Robin comes by and asks Walden to attend a charity benefit for monkeys. Jenny expresses interest in Robin which Walden doesn't seem too fond of.
Alan also tags along and there it's revealed that Walden knows Lynda Carter.
Back home Alan reveals his humongous crush on Lynda since his childhood and asks Walden to set him up with Lynda. Walden thinks Lynda is out of Alan's league which ends up hurting Alan. Jenny says that Walden shouldn't be the one to decide who Alan should date and who he shouldn't, although she does agree that Alan is not good enough for Lynda. Walden makes it up to Alan by inviting his mother and Lynda for dinner.
Alan embarrasses himself by getting Lynda to sign posters and asking her to pose with the "Lasso of Truth". Walden pulls Lynda aside and apologizes for Alan's behavior. Lynda remarks that everybody (including Jenny) is interested in her except the one she's interested in and pulls in Walden for a kiss just as Alan enters. He is enraged and spins the Lasso and "captures" Walden. In the scuffle, Alan falls off the balcony onto the beach, pulling Walden with him.
The next morning, both decide to apologize for the behavior last night. Unknown to them, Robin and Lynda, revealed to be closeted lesbians, emerge from Jenny's room and share a goodbye kiss before departing.
