Rick misleads the thrice-divorced Bernie (Fred Applegate) when he arranges a second encounter between Bernie and Ronnie's enamored friend Christine. (from TV Guide)

In the opener, Rick bemoans the fact that he and Ronnie haven't had sex in weeks to anyone who'll listen. Later, while dining with another couple at a school function, Ronnie gets angry when Rick hits it off with another woman.

Rather than going to play softball, Rick grudgingly goes along when the family is invited to a children's birthday party. Rick winds up in a game of basketball with the other fathers and he repeatedly gets fouled by the obnixious host (Christopher Rich). So Rick responds in a civilized manner -- by punching the guy... As a result, he's branded the ""town psycho.""

Rick reluctantly joins Ronnie for a visit to a therapist, who assigns them to work on communication and intimacy - without sex.
