Marty gets an unwelcome visitor - his militant younger brother whose reasons for resurfacing after 3 years seem dubious. It turns out that he returned because their father wants to try a risky Parkinson treatment - which Marty didn't know about. Doug "The Gug" and Jeannie go on assignment with an online dating firm and go on blind dates as provided by the dating firm's website in California. Doug has a brilliant date called Sarah which makes Doug miss his ex Sarah even more, while Jeannie was rude and critical to her date causing him to leave in disgust. Meanwhile, Marty finds a kindred spirit in a political consultant while on a visit with a banking CEO in Chicago with Clyde, where he has an affair with the CEO's political adviser ( Lisa Edelstein ). She tells him that Julianne wanted her to turn him down.
