Written By: Tom Kapinos
Directed By: David Duchovny

Guest Stars: Kathleen Turner, Diane Farr, Alicia Witt, Ellen Davis Woglom, Jason Beghe, with Embeth Davidtz, and Peter Gallagher

Following Karen’s move to New York, Hank Moody (DAVID DUCHOVNY) does his best to raise daughter Becca (MADELEINE MARTIN) by himself.  But being a single dad isn’t easy, especially with Becca starting to question his authority more than ever.  To make matters worse, Becca’s new best friend Chelsea (ELLEN DAVIS WOGLOM) has a fondness for sex, drugs and trouble. After a run-in with Chelsea’s straight-laced mother Felicia (EMBETH DAVIDTZ), a teacher at a local university, Hank reluctantly accepts a dinner invitation.  Hank does his best to tolerate the various academics (DIANE FARR, JASON BEGHE) in attendance, including Felicia’s stuffy hubby Stacy Koons (PETER GALLAGHER), the Dean of the university.  Things get a bit out of hand when Hank insists on having drinks with a teetotaling professor…   

Meanwhile, Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) moves back in with soon-to-be-ex-wife Marcy (PAMELA ADLON) as they sort out the details of their impending divorce. And, on the employment front, Charlie sets up shop at a talent agency owned by fading super-agent Sue Collini (KATHLEEN TURNER).

Newly anointed (and decidedly reluctant) professor Hank Moody (DAVID DUCHOVNY) grapples with teaching an undergrad creative writing course.  A brutally honest assessment of a student’s (ED WESTWICK) work lands Hank in hot water.  In order to placate the Dean (PETER GALLAGHER) and maintain his position, Hank visits the student to make amends.  Damage controlled, Hank ends up giving gorgeous and talented writing student JACKIE (EVA AMURRI) a ride to her surprising place of employment.

Meanwhile, Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) overly concerns himself with roommate Marcy’s (PAMELA ADLON) dating life to disastrous results.

Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) tries to coax Marcy (PAMELA ADLON) into celebrating his first signing at the new agency, teen idol Rick Springfield.  When Marcy passes on the offer, Charlie finds a modicum of comfort in the arms of his new boss, Sue Collini (KATHLEEN TURNER).
