    A childhood friend has a secret for Mike.

    Perhaps I was expecting too much from this episode. I had heard that this show was one of the better stories and may have had too high regard for the person that told me. The show just did not live up to the anticipation I was expecting.

    The story is about a childhood friend of Mike's, Nat (Lou Diamond Phillips), that is gay. When he comes to visit Mike, he hooks up with Carter which makes Mike feel betrayed. Mike has got to work out his feeling about his friend before things turn sad.

    Another story in the episode was Stacey who is trying to save money so she asks the cheapest man on staff, Paul, to help her. Of course Paul will give her a lesson on being cheap.

    The story about Mike and his friend, which was suppose to be a must-see situation, fell flat. Other than the handsome Lou Diamond Phillips, there was little excitement or interest in the situation. And the story of Stacey and Paul was down right boring.

    Again, I may have had too high of an expectation for this episode but for me it was disappointing.
