Diego points out to Jesse that Roy seems to be around a lot and Jesse seems to enjoy his company a lot. They get into a fight about it just before Diego is due to leave for a trip to New York. Carrie has agreed with Darren to try to make Linda jealous of her while on their group date, which is supposed to awake interest in Linda towards Darren. Roy surprises Jesse with a kiss.

Diego is not answering Jesse's calls. Linda starts asking about Darren, who has gone to pick up Carrie. Darren's plot to make Linda jealous is finally starting to work and Jesse realizes that Linda likes Darren. There's just the fact that Carrie isn't pretending to like Darren - she really likes him, he just doesn't know it. And the girls' "Code" says that they can't make a move for their best friend's guy. Jesse then invites Diego (who has a flu) for a Thanksgiving dinner even though Roy is coming there too. Diego refuses. Later, Jesse decides to take some soup over ...

Little John has a part in kids' Christmas comedy stage-play of Jesus and his dog Barko. Diego is still upset about the kiss between Jesse and Roy. Roy has actually asked Jesse out on a date and Diego becomes jealous when he hears about it from Linda. Darren is going to appear in a TV commercial. He asks Carrie to return the ring he gave her in order to make Linda jealous, since the trick did not work. Carrie has had it and "breaks up" with Darren (they only pretended to be together), and Linda sees that her opportunity has presented itself.

Diego appears on Jesse's doorstep in the middle of night to bang the door. He comes to bring an important message: Roy is "fundamentally evil". Jesse does not heed him. Linda has been arriving late to work for the whole week and Jesse's dad gives Jesse the task of reprimanding her. Meanwhile, Darren and Junior have a talk with Diego: their advice is: "Move along with your life." Diego then confronts Roy, telling that he is backing off. But that is not the conclusion...

Diego arrives at the bar out of breath. His car had broken down and he had pushed it for 8 blocks... in the winter. Junior declares Diego's car dead. Jesse apologizes about the incidents with Roy. They decide to try being just friends for a while. Since they are now friends, Jesse offers to help him get a best possible deal of his a new car. Darren and Junior have both been smitten by the same woman who visits the bar. Both think she is looking at specifically him. So they start competing for her attention.

Jesse estimates that she has served 200,000 beers at the bar over the course of 8 years and is sick of the bar. She has no high school diploma, so she decides to take night school so she can graduate and go study to become a nurse. Jesses math teacher then asks her out. But it's Diego she really likes. After encouraging from Carrie and Linda, Jesse gets the courage to ask Diego out, but before she has the chance to ask, Diego tells that a student asked him out and he said yes. So Jesse announces that she has agreed to go on a date with her math teacher. At Jesse's ...

Linda has a break-up with her boyfriend. Jesse, Carrie and Linda's high school so-called-friend April is getting married and this would be the first time the girls met since graduating (except that Jesse had to drop out before that, of course). Jesse points that there would be a lot of single men there. So they attend the reception. April, however, does not recall Carrie, even though she claimed to have been close to April in high school. April asks Jesse to be her maid of honor, since her sister didn't make it all the way from Italy. Carrie is upset. Meanwhile, the B...

Diego had mentioned a university cocktail party to Jesse, who assumed it an invitation to be his plus-one. However, at Diego's place, Jesse finds that Diego already has a date: the sexy student, Gwen (the apparently ageless Pauley Perrette, cf. NCIS, 10 years later), whom Diego has been seeing a while (since #1.12). Jesse goes nuts and starts to live an imaginary life according to the examples in the film noir marathon on TV... A life where Diego is a private eye and Jesse is a femme fatale. A life where someone kills Gwen in the first scene. Sad, but at least we see ...

When Gwen leaves Diego's side to fetch a mitten she forgot, Diego's facade cracks and she begs Jesse to help him, because Gwen is crazy! Meanwhile, John Sr. meets an old crush, Marianne Myers. Jesse urges his dad to ask Marianne out. Will he do it? Diego sees refuge in the bar because Gwen is stalking him! Jesse says she can't help him. Will Diego end up as a chalk outline in the yard?
