Dave's old high school teacher turns up, and Max finally meets a great guy.
Alex teams up with other small business owners to fight a chain coffee store that moves into the neighborhood, but things become complicated when Max finds out he's dating the store's owner (Max Greenfield); Dave is thrilled when his favorite high school teacher Alan (Rob Huebel) is back in town. But when Penny goes out on a date with Alan, she realizes he's not as perfect as he seems, but keeps the information a secret to avoid disappointing Dave; Brad and Jane make a bet to see who can get a job by using either their charm or being prepared.—jockteen10
Max volunteers to lead a brutal protest campaign against coffee-shop chain Nicks moving into Chicagi before he finds out the branch manager, Ian, is his sexy first real date. Dave's teen age hero teacher Alan Fitzgerald turns up and promises to help him win a fast food competition with his Thai salad recipe, but dates Penny, who realizes Alan is a phony parasite.—KGF Vissers
