[edit] Plot
Although Drew begs Lisa not to, she tells him that she will soon begin seeing other people, urging him to do so also. Back at his house, Drew gets a black book from Jay with a list of potential dates , but decides to ask out his barber, Sue. For their first date, she takes him to a strip club (where her mother happens to work), and makes Drew defend her honor to two large guys at the Warsaw Tavern. Luckily for Drew, he is able to scare the two men off with a baseball bat provided by the bartender. Drew knows he has a problem with Sue when she begins shoplifting from Winfred-Louder and gets along with Mimi, even offering to do her hair. Because of Sue's crazy lifestyle, Drew fears that he will not survive much longer. Drew is immediately relieved to hear Lisa's message on his phone saying that she has figured out a way for them to begin dating in public. Drew decides that he will go on his last date with Sue at a water tower to go bungee jumping. He gently breaks up with her, and is relieved when she only kisses him goodbye instead of pushing him off the top of the water tower. Back at Winfred-Louder, Kate tells Drew that she has just applied for a job as head of the personal shopper department and he promises to hire her. As soon as Drew hires Kate, Lisa shows up and announces her plan for the two of them to get back together. She wants him to hire her to the same position that he just hired Kate, as this would make them both management and able to date each other. Even Mimi applies for the position and warns Drew that she has Bell's backing. At the conclusion of the episode, Sue is cutting Mimi's hair and they are bragging about the crazy things they have done in life. Mimi then teaches Sue how to dance the polka.

[edit] Quotes
Sue (running up to Drew at the Warsaw Tavern): Drew! Drew!
Drew: Have you been in my vitamins, angel? (laughs at himself)
Sue: Listen, two guys were giving me crap and we kinda got in a fight and in about two seconds they're going to come charging down here looking for me.
Drew: Don't worry, no one's going to hurt you. We'll be in the car before they head down. (heads for the door)
Sue (pulling him back): Drew, these guys insulted me. Now are you going to tell them off, or are you going to run off scared?
Drew: Scared? I'll show you whose scared! (the two guys appear behind Drew without him knowing) I'll them them off and make them apologize.
Sue: Great, these are the guys. (points at the two men)
Big Guy #1: Are you the guy that has something to say to us?
Drew: Nope, not me. (reaches for bat that is handed to him by the bartender) It must be my friend Louie. (holds bat up) Now he wants you to apologize to the lady.
Big Guy #1: OK, I'm sorry.
Drew: Now I suggest you get out of here, I'm too out of shape for a long fight, so I'll have to kill you fast. (the two guys quickly leave)
Jay (trying to set Drew up with a date talking about a little black book with a list of women's names): I know hundreds of women, all available, all gorgeous, and all lonely.
Kate: Honey?
Jay: Just a minute. You know a good friend gave me this. I haven't actually looked inside it. Because I'm in love with my girl Kate. (puts his arm around her)
Kate: Um, so, why do you carry it with you?
Drew, Oswald, and Lewis (in unison): Yeah, why is that?
Jay: Every one of these women is my blood type. You know, in case I get in an accident.
Drew, Oswald, Lewis, and Kate (nodding as if understanding): Ohhhhhh!
Kate: You're about to get in an accident!
Lewis (explaining Drew's relationship with Lisa): Wait, I think I can demonstrate this more clearly. Drew give me a dollar.
(Drew reaches into his pocket for a dollar)
Lewis: C'mon, c'mon. (Drew hands him the dollar and Lewis sets it on the table) OK, now give me five dollars. (Drew hands him five dollars) OK, now give me ten dollars.
Drew: All I got left is a twenty.
Lewis: (gesturing for the money) That's fine. (folds up the money and puts it in his pocket as he leaves) Ok, see you at Hooters.
