Gene agrees to let Nubsib live with him for a month as a favor to Tum.  During this time, Nubsib and Gene fall into a routine of sharing meals together and even begin to practice Nubsib's lines in the series he is filming.  

Gene attends a reunion with old classmates where he gets drunk and requires Nubsib to bring him home.  As the one month deadline approaches, Gene reminds Tum of his requirement to find Nubsib a new place to live.
