Laura gives Rob some 'sitcom advice'.
planktonrules9 December 2023
Rob thinks one of the dancers on the show is very talented and so he helps her to get a better job on the show. The young lady is not only appreciative but she's inexplicably in love with Rob...even though he's double her age. And, instead of dissipating, the girl's infatuation appears to be getting worse...and Rob is way too mealy-mouthed to put the young lady in her place. Later, he asks Laura her advice, which turns out to be insane. She advises Rob to actively pursue the girl and that will scare her off...something no married woman would EVER tell her husband! It's more like 'sitcom advice'...something you only see on TV. And, not surprisingly, this approach only makes things much worse! What's next? See the show.

This is an okay episode whose 'big problem' doesn't seem very big at all and is easy to solve in a variety of ways...which is why I consider it a bit of a weak episode. Not terrible but not terribly logical.
