Dopey shows up on Cheryl's doorstep, to a not-so-warm reception. It's obvious Cheryl has a date over -- presumably one who is willing to have sex with her. She's also decked out in red for Valentine's Day. Aw, that's so cute. Obviously feeling sorry for Matt, she deigns to talk to him for a few minutes as he pathetically asks her why they're not together anymore. She's smooth enough not to be drawn into a pointless discussion, especially when he asks her who the right girl is for him. What a bizarre thing to ask your ex-girlfriend! She gives him a pity kiss on the cheek and returns to her surely-much-more-exciting new boyfriend.
Back at the pool hall, Mary is ordering a soda at the bar when she sees her friend Cory walk down the stairs. Mary tells her how great it is to see her. Cory guiltily says, "When you find out who I'm here with, you might not be so happy to see me." Oh, whoever could it be? Try to think of the least original thing the writers could do here, and I'm sure you'll figure out the answer. Why, it's Wilson, of course! Mary says, "What the --" but has to stop herself, because this is a G-rated show. Wilson puts an arm around Cory and monotones, "Hi, Mary."
Robbie shows up at Joy's with a big bouquet of roses. He says he had to go to three different florist shops to find them. What a productive use of time and money, especially since Joy just tosses them on the couch and pulls Robbie down for some making out. At least she didn't pull him down onto that dreadful yellow floral chair that looks like a closeout special from the worst furniture store in the universe. Like everyone else, Joy has a big VD surprise for her guy: They're all alone in the house for the night. This makes Robbie very nervous. Joy explains that she's not sure she wants to be with Robbie "like that." Because she screws up her face in distaste, I'm assuming she's talking about the ickiness that is sex. She confusingly adds that she is ready to be "more serious" with him, whatever the hell that means. And I'm really not sure why they need to have the house empty either, if they're not going to be having evil sex. She completes the confusion by adding that since they have the house to themselves, they should just "see what happens." Good idea. And here's another one. Maybe they could put on party hats and pretend they're clowns. Hey, it works for the CamRents. By the way, it looks like Joy's blouse may have been quite attractive before it got all torn up in the wash.
