[edit] Plot

Newly minted roommates Hank and Charlie meet a girl at the gym who knows Hank from a past incident and when Hank can’t quite remember her, she beats him up in the ring. Each reeling from relationship woes, Karen and Marcy decide to have a girl’s night out. Back at UTK, Dani meets with Mia regarding a novel she has written. Karen and Marcy decide to pay Hank and Charlie a surprise visit, but get more than they bargained for when they walk in on them and the girl from the boxing gym.

[edit] Cultural references

When Hank and Charlie are at a bar drinking, Charlie calls themselves Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Dani makes reference to the TV program "Slut Wars" being popular. This is a reference to the film The TV Set in which David Duchovny plays a writer of a TV pilot. In the film, the fictional network Duchovny is pitching his pilot to have just had a popular hit with the equally fictional "Slut Wars."
When Hank decides to leave Charlie and the ex that he can't remember alone on the sofa, he says "Carry on my wayward sons", which is a reference to a song by Kansas named "Carry On My Wayward Son".
