The Thoreaus join Joe's ex-wife and her new boyfriend at a charity auction for a school in which Terry is the auctioneer and he runs into an old flame.

Joe recounts the tale of the first date he's gone on in 20 years. The misadventures include a black eye, a potentially embarrassing encounter with one of his employees, an unfortunate piece of advice from Terry, an anxious Little Leaguer and a poorly placed lamp.
