Date

After he scares off his blind date Gretchen with neurotic pre-date jitters, Porter despairs of ever going out again -- until Bobby, Oscar and Rose try to convince him to ask Rose's mother Marilyn out. At first incredulous, the pair decide to give it a try, but Porter offends Marilyn by coming on like ""a pompous jerk"" about the difference in their backgrounds. A second attempt goes better until Rose warns Porter that he had better not disappear like all the other men in Marilyn's life have, and Porter becomes obsessed with the idea that he will destroy his friendship with Marilyn and Rose's with Oscar. Meanwhile, Dena misinterprets Porter's remarks about falling for someone ""who comes to my house every day.""
