The Class

In the series premiere, Ethan's fiancée leaves him, declaring that she can't deal with his dramatic, overeager expressions of love. Impressed by Lina's defense of Ethan, Richie makes a connection with Lina and ends up leaving the party with her. Kyle apologizes to the still-furious Holly for a traumatic post-prom experience from their school days. Kat awkwardly attempts the cheer up the devastated Ethan after all the guests have left. And Duncan and Nicole find themselves renewing their long-dormant attraction.

Richie tries to cope with the furious Kat after accidentally injuring Lina. Fortunately, Lina is much more forgiving than her sister. Meanwhile, Duncan and the married Nicole deal with their renewed romantic feelings. And hoping to help their daughter's chances of being admitted to the academy where Kyle teaches, Holly and Perry host a brunch for Kyle and his boyfriend.

Richie helps take care of the recovering Lina, but she might be safer without him around. Kat tries to get even-tempered Ethan to express his anger towards his ex-fiancée. Nicole and Duncan realize they are going to have to spend a lot more time together than they expected after Nicole's husband hires Duncan to perform major upgrades on his and Nicole's house. And Holly reports the news live from the middle of an ever-worsening hurricane.

When Duncan starts hanging around with Yonk, talking about video games and football, Nicole realizes that her worst nightmare is coming true---they're becoming buddies. Kat tries to help Ethan recover, so she sets him up with one of her friends. Holly becomes obsessed with trying to get her daughter Oprah in Kyle's school, so she starts interrupting Kyle and Aaron all the time, and drives them crazy. After their last date turned out a total disaster, Richie and Lina try to go out on a second date.

Ethan is mortified when Kat asks for multiple samples of frozen yogurt without ever placing an order or paying--and then dares him to do the same. After questioning her behavior, Ethan is forced to prove that he is not a wimp. Meanwhile, Lina struggles with her first day back at the office when she's unable to maneuver in her wheelchair. Feeling responsible, Richie hires Duncan to build wheelchair ramps for Lina's home, and as the guys bond, Duncan offers something else to help Richie out. Also, Kyle continues to have trouble dealing with Holly's intense desire for her daughter to attend the private school where he teaches.

When Holly gets a chance to impress her bosses while filling in for the weekend anchor, Perry advises her on her wardrobe--but his suggestion to wear her stiletto heels to report from a petting zoo on Halloween proves costly when she accidentally impales a bunny live on the air. The situation is exacerbated when the video of the incident spreads worldwide on the Internet. Meanwhile, after Kat criticizes Ethan's Superman costume and claims that she's stronger than he is, the two get into a wrestling match, and he won't release her from a headlock until she admits that he's tougher. While confined to her wheelchair, Lina gets creative and decides to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt for Halloween. And when Yonk takes Richie and Duncan to Atlantic City for one of his appearances, they end up gambling instead.
