- Dharma encourages Kitty when she finds out Kitty writes erotica. Greg and Pete put together a model boat.
- During spring cleaning Greg gets sentimental about some collectibles and their childhood memories that Dharma would sell for pittance, and decides to finish a model warship meticulously, with Pete's dubious help. Dharma concentrates on a notebook which got into Greg's boxes by accident, containing Kitty's private erotic stories. She feels they're too good to remain unpublished, and drags the author along to Abby's loony 'literary' circle, with the desired effect. However, a writer's block proves quite a dilemma: she only produces steamy stuff when she's frustrated in Edward's bed.—KGF Vissers
- Greg cleans out the garage and brings out a box of his old stuff that he can sell at Dharma's rummage sale. But it is clear that Greg is way too attached to his memories with these things and to him they are priceless. He will not allow Dharma to put a price on them. There are the invisible man and woman, which Dharma wanted to sell for $5 or $8. There was the French Monopoly set and Greg won't allow it to be sold for $3. He finds his unopened model of the battleship USS Missouri. The depth charges work, and the anchor is made of real metal.
Dharma discovers a dirty story written by Kitty in Greg's old stuff. Dharma takes the notebook to Kitty, who says that she wants to keep it private. Dharma encourages Kitty to write more & publish. Kitty wants to buy Dharma's silence. Dharma says that she doesn't want the money, she only wants Kitty to share her writing with the world.
Dharma wants to know if the stories are based on some actual events in Kitty's life. Greg is totally against Dharma encouraging Kitty to publish her stories. Dharma says that Kitty's writing is a symbol of her repressed sexuality. She says that Kitty is a lusty volcano just waiting to erupt.
To encourage Kitty, Dharma takes her to Abby's erotic reading group. They love her stuff, as it is very vivid and illustrative in its descriptions. Every woman in the group was able to visualize herself in Kitty's story and end up having their own lusty and sexual encounter in the stables with an exotic stranger. This encourages Kitty more. One of Abby's friends agrees to publish Kitty's story if she can expand it to 5000 words.
This immediately leads to improvement in Kitty's sex life with Edward. When Dharma reads the 5000 words draft, it is nowhere near in quality as compared to the earlier story.
Kitty finds that her writing is good when she isn't getting any from Edward, but when she is satisfied, her writing is not very good. Edward tries to talk to Greg about how he is struggling to keep Kitty "Satisfied", but Greg won't talk on this subject, so Pete gives Edward some suggestions on how to fake an injury and avoid sex.
Dharma tries to edit Kitty's stories to make it more "colorful", but Greg just laughs at her attempts. She adds a few references to heaving bosoms, clenched buttocks, the creamy thighs and hungry lips. Still the story is rejected for publishing. Kitty writes another story, and it is a good one, since Edward apparently wrenched his neck while playing golf.
Meanwhile, Greg avoids the issue entirely by submersing himself into building a model ship. He found it among his stuff. Pete helps Greg on assembling the model. But Greg is very particular about where every piece goes and in which order. He is angry at Pete when he glues the bridge together without putting the captain inside it. Dharma tells Greg that Kitty has figured out that she can still have sex with Edward with the neck brace, if she is on top.
