But, their scheduled evening goes awry as each assumes the other had cancelled their dinner plans with friends.
Sofa's Choice
To Paul, a couch by any other name is not a couch, especially if it is a divan, a settee, or worse, a love seat. Jamie is determined that their first major purchase to be jointly made and when dragged to the department store, Paul manages to hyperventilate. When they hang out together in the store, Mark discovers to Paul some informations that he probably shouldn't ever find about.

Out of the Past
News of his ex-girlfriend visiting New York first fills Paul with excitement, followed by guilt, culminating in blithering idiocy after he invites Jamie to Riff's to meet her and Jamie accepts.
Paul in the Family
An unexpectedly long visit by Jamie's parents, Gus (guest star: Paul Dooley) and Theresa Stemple (guest star Nancy Dussault) turns her into a raving lunatic who bribes Lisa with cold cash and cab fare into sharing the experience.
I'm Just So Happy for You
Paul's film about Yankee Stadium is rejected by PBS the same day Jamie snags a major advertising account, turning her celebratory bash into a defeat party.
Token Friend
Paul is suddenly reluctant to use the subway because a former fellow film school student turns up as the token clerk at his station.
The Apartment
Planning their last will and testament together brings up the subject of Paul's old bachelor pad, which he now sublets to Cosmo Kramer (guest star Michael Richards). Jamie wants Paul to get ridden of his apartment, but Paul is against that. They get into a fight, which results by Paul deciding about the future of his apartment and Jamie getting ridden of her t-shirt from her past (which she later wants back).
