Plot
The episode begins with another church related dream of Hank's, this time involving Bill and a homosexual blow job. After Hank questions who wants to suck whose cock, he inquires about a girl who is beautiful, smart, funny, but not Karen. After Bill states that Karen does not love him, but loves Bill, Karen, dressed as a nun, bursts into the room and begins to make out with Bill (who simultaneously gives the finger to Hank). When Hank wakes up from the dream, he is in bed with Meredith. Meredith uses the phrase 'LOL' which causes Hank to state that although he does not have a problem with the word, he believes every time a person uses it, they are "contributing to the death of the English language."
After the introduction, it is revealed that Charlie and his wife Marcy are having some marital issues; the situation is further escalated by Marcy trying to insert her finger between Charlie's buttocks, at the suggestion of Hank, who had merely suggested she "spice" things up.
Later, Bill arrives at Hank's apartment and states that they need to have a talk about Mia. Hank gets worried and noticeably agitated. He begins to ramble on about how "I'm really sorry, it's just a fucked up situation and it should have never happened, and no one is really to blame. But I am glad you are here so we can get on the same page," alluding to when he slept with Mia. Bill, confused, questions Hank on what he is talking about, but Hank does not reply and allows Bill to speak. Bill states the reason he came over was because he has to go out of town on business, and he was supposed to speak at Mia's creative writing class. Bill was hoping that, as a writer, Hank could step in for him. Hank agrees, but not without taking something in exchange - Bill's leather jacket. Hank wins over the students at Mia's all-girl school and also learns that her teacher lusts after the young girls he teaches (which later causes Hank to remark to Karen: "Please promise me we will never send Becca there").
Hank gives a radio interview with Henry Rollins where he rants about the lack of proper language on the internet, calling the people who use it stupid. Afterward, he has dinner with Charlie, Marcy and Meredith. Meredith is angry because she used netspeak around him and feels the rant was directed at her, so she breaks things off with Hank. The next morning, she comes back to get her things, and she reveals that her married lover has left his wife, thanks to Hank's actions in the previous episode. In the end, she and Hank part on rather good terms after a last session of kitchen sex.
At home, Becca's pre-teen crush on her guitar teacher ends in her first heartbreak when, that night, he goes off with Mia instead. Afterward, Hank tries to comfort her in his own way.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
