This week we have Timmy trying to flirt with Allison, the new girl, and Jeff has a bit of a secret weapon he has for when he screws up with Audrey. Has anyone else noticed that Timmy sounds a lot like Cary Grant? I like it!

Russ walks into the office to hear Timmy making some flirtatious comment to the new girl Allison. Russ gives his usual sleazy advice on how to make a move on this woman, to which Tim tells him that he would rather take advice from Tiger Woods…OUCH! So Russ decides to take matters into his own hands and writes Allison an e-mail posing as Timmy. Oh, this can’t be good!

Meanwhile, we learn that Jeff forgot to mail Audrey’s Pilates class check and now there is no room for her. But Jeff shows Adam that he has a “Bank” file on the computer. He explains that whenever Audrey screws up, he just notes it in his file and saves it. Then whenever he screws up and she is mad at him, he “withdraws” a moment, and soon she is not mad at him and actually he has her apologizing to him! Adam is impressed and wants to try this. Oh Adam…you know you can’t pull off a Jeff!

Russ asks Timmy if he has heard from Allison. He says no. Russ runs into her in the break room and asks how things are going with Timmy. She did not like the e-mail that was sent and no longer wants to talk to Tim. She notes that the spelling was awful and that a person who writes e-mails like that will never have a meaningful relationship in their life. Hmmmm, dually noted, is the look on Russ’s face.

Do we think Russ has had a “ah-ha moment”? Probably not!

Both Adam and Jeff end up on the couch after Adam fails miserably and the “bank” attempt and Audrey finds the “Bank” file.

The next day Timmy gets Allison a cupcake in attempt to woo her. But she wants no part of it. Then he learns of this mysterious e-mail and realizes it was Russ who did it. She is relieved to find out he is still the charming man she thought he was. But as they read the e-mail, they get turned on and start making out. Russ, must never know of this…but print up the e-mail…then delete it. LOL.

Back home Jenn accepts Adam’s note of affection ,of a half gallon of milk. Jeff and Audrey decide to delete the bank file. Jeff pulls out the printed copy he had, and as she reads it, the memories of those moments touch her and she decides to keep the printed copy since they don’t have very many pictures…due to the Grand Canyon-camera dropping incident.

I like this Timmy character, don’t you? Is Adam always so dumb? I haven’t watched a lot of these episodes, but now I feel I should go back and watch them. Tell me any inside info that I don’t know…clue me in. Leave me a comment.
