TRAMA
In questa puntata l'ostacolo che Andrew e Zelda devono affrontare è il timore di de-mascolinizzazione da parte di Andrew. Durante un'uscita insieme, infatti, Zelda viene "attaccata" da un maleducato che le indirizza parole non proprio gentilissime. Andrew si sta per fare avanti, quando Zelda dimostra di essere in grado di difendersi da sola e in pochi istanti mette al suo posto il suo avversario. La cosa disturba un po' Andrew che, sospinto dalle parole di Stu, si convince di dover dimostrare di essere un vero maschio alpha, capace di difendere la sua donna. Dal passato, allora, recupera una famosa mossa, quella della scimmia-ragno, con cui metteva k.o. tutti i suoi nemici a scuola, quando era un bambino troppo piccolo per la sua età, che diventava spesso un bersaglio per i più grandi. Nonostante Zelda non faccia che ripetergli che a lei piacciono i tipi dolci e sensibili, Andrew si fissa talmente sull'idea di dar mostra alla ragazza delle sue abilità fisiche che finisce con il perdere di vista l'obiettivo principale: far sì che Zelda sia ancora innamorata di lui. Nel frattempo, in ufficio, Lydia sta cercando di capire come riuscire ad avere più potere sui suoi sottoposti. Grazie al suo braccio destro pieno di amore per lei, metterà in scena varie situazioni-tipo: dalla paura all'empatia, la donna si reinventa in continuazione, portando in superficie la sua assoluta incapacità di capire il mondo che la circonda, in scene assolutamente irresistibili dal punto di vista comico.
"Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from." --Mae West We start tonight's adventure by finding our dear, gentle Andrew minding his own business, standing in line with Zelda outside an eatery when an oafish dude staggers up and bumps into Zelda. Rather than excusing himself, the bro throws it back on Zelda, calling her a "ho" and belligerently insisting her it was his fault. Andrew's chivalrous side kicks in and he prepares to defend his lady's honor - only to be shut down by Zelda, who quickly dresses down the dullard, tossing one of his sandals on the roof for good measure. Andrew's amazed and a little emasculated. Here he was, ready to put his mad jiu jitsu skills into practice (a martial art form he studied as a child), but Zelda's beaten him to the beat down. Later, Andrew relays the story to Stu, who tells Andrew in no uncertain terms that he must strike out to regain his masculinity in Zelda's eyes. He offers to resume his old practice of "Kato-ing" Andrew, i.e., lying in wait and randomly testing Andrew's fighting reflexes, a la the Kato character in Peter Sellers' "Pink Panther" movies. Andrew tells him no, but Stu makes no promises. Wondering about the real impact of the confrontation on their relationship, Andrew calls Zelda to probe whether she would have preferred him to step into the fray. She tells him absolutely not, that she prefers men who are level-headed, smart and sensitive - just like him. Andrew's elated. But when he asks her later to see if she's like to get together to spend the night, she begs off. Coincidence? Stu thinks not. Stephie, on the other hand, has her hands on a manly man, literally. Frank, an organic farmer, is the plaintiff in a large lawsuit being handled by Zelda and Stephie's firm. Stephie's taken a personal interest in the case; Zelda finds her and the client necking in a supply closet. Back at Wallflower, Big Bird's on another management kick, one that has her sitting at a desk amongst the worker bees. Her attempt at connecting with the employees really just results in a bubble of sycophancy popping up around her. When Stu pulls the hidden Kato act on Andrew and the two struggle on the floor, Howard blows his stack, screaming at all the employees and threatening them with a mandatory meeting, complete with PowerPoint slides. Big Bird's impressed: rage seems to work. She invents a situation to scream at and slap Howard so the employees will respect her. But it has exactly the opposite effect she intends: they're sympathetic to Howard and no more respectful of her. Stu has a solution to Andrew's masculinity concerns. He resurrects a VHS tape from his and Andrew's childhood, featuring home footage of young Andrew in full kick-ass jiu jitsu mode. He convinces Andrew he should show it to Zelda to subtly make the point about how tough he is. At the girls' apartment, Andrew cues up the footage for Zelda, Stephie and Frank the client. Too bad for Andrew the martial arts demo has been spliced with footage of him performing in a musical at age ten. At Andrew's urging, the group beats a hasty retreat outside. Stephie and Frank peel off, leaving Andrew and Zelda walking together when an obnoxious sign-spinner on the sidewalk bumps into Andrew. The spinner is dressed as Abe Lincoln and immediately confronts Andrew. Not to be undone again, Andrew stands his ground. Abe isn't backing off, even encouraging Andrew to "bring it." Much to Zelda's horror, Andrew makes a flying leap, pulling Abe to the ground and ripping off his mask. Except it's not a he, it's a she. As Zelda storms off, the female Abe impersonator/sign spinner whacks Andrew on the back of his head with her sign. Ouch. Later Andrew tries to explain himself to Zelda, but she remains furious. They part. Later she explains to Andrew that that she doesn't need a brute of a man, but rather someone who will support and listen to her, helping her through stressful parts of her day, even helping her make little decisions like where or what to eat. She expands, saying that is why she had begged off spending the night earlier - not because she was not attracted to Andrew after his non-confrontation with the dude at the restaurant, but because her workload was crazy and she needed to work at home, alone, that night. Andrew never heard her talk about that. Andrew takes a while to digest his lesson and the next night shows up on Zelda's doorstep, takeout food from her favorite Thai restaurant in hand. That's more like it. Inside the apartment, as Zelda uncorks some wine and the couple makes longing eyes at each other; it looks like Andrew's learned his lesson. As he sits down on an easy chair, he's attacked one more time by Stu. He's been lying in wait a long time.
