This is another episode that isn't quite the same as others, in that there isn't any mythbusting going on. Instead, we're taken around the area and shown where Adam and Jamie get the toys that they use for busting the myths, and we're also shown a lot of highlights along the way.

Cheryl is happy that Andy has found himself a girlfriend (the first since Carrie, back in the Pilot. Her name is Alicia (played by Nicole Sullivan) and she seems nice. Unfortunately she's a vegetarian, which doesn't go over well. She finds a turkey leg taped to the back of the commode one night, and Jim gently suggests that perhaps Andy is better of without her. This may not have been the best course of action, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

The next day, Andy and Alicia are back together, and Andy turns into Formal Guy, who wants nothing to do with James - what he has taken to calling Jim in his new personality - because of the comments he made about his lady-friend. Dana, of course, finds the whole thing hilarious.

Nothing is as simple as it would seem, however, and as it turns out, Jim isn't the problem for one. Alicia is actually intimidated by how perfect Cheryl is, and that's why she won't come around the house. Unfortunately, this comes out because Andy couldn't keep his mouth shut, so it looks like that's another girlfriend down the drain.

Also keep an eye out for a brief appearance by Dweezil Zappa as Joe.

Jim is troubled because Ruby doesn't want to give him a kiss goodbye at school, but he hasn't seen anything yet. She doesn't want to listen to him at home either, but she's still just getting started. Cheryl advises him to back off, but he insists that he knows what's best, so he does it his way.

When Ruby wants to sit at the other end of the table (and put Dana next to Jim, he takes it in stride. When Ruby asks Andy to take her to the Father-Daughter dance at school, Jim accepts it, but in reality he's the one that's hurting. Naturally, Ruby is too, but she isn't going to show it.

After talking to Cheryl, he realizes that Ruby needs him to show some strength, but give her the space she needs to start growing. So he dons his suit and meets her at the dance, where she shows him that she really does love him. Of course, after seeing Andy dance, that's not a hard thing to do.

The second episode in the series was a bit more disjointed than the Pilot. This is probably because it didn't take place in a single location (the apartment that contained the ill-fated party), so it's understandable. Unfortunately, the sheer size of the cast made things flow a bit more unevenly than they did in the first episode. It wasn't bad, exactly, it just wasn't as easy to swallow as the first episode.

First we had to find out what happened to Lina after being run over by Richie. Unfortunately, things aren't looking good. She broke all but one bone in her feet. That bone, it seems, had to be broken in order to set the other bones. It looks like she'll be recovering for the next few months. To the chagrin of her sister Kat, she'd still like to see Richie again - but it's possible that she doesn't know he's the one who ran over her just yet. She's just happy that they had a nice time.

Not sure that she's ready to leave Yonk, Nicole went back home after a night of passion with Duncan. As luck would have it, he came right behind her, and discovered that he worked on the house when he was younger. Even worse, the contractor had run out of money and so some of the fixtures are made of styrofoam. This gives Nicole a chance to hire him to fix the work and have him around. It might not be the best idea.

Finally, we see an odd luncheon date between Holly, Perry and Kyle, where Holly tries to find out just how long Kyle had been discovering his gay side prior to prom night. As it turns out, it wasn't that long. What's really got people wondering is how long it will be before Holly figures out her current husband is even more flaming than her prom date. Stay tuned.

There are people in our world who are changing, who are on the verge of taking the next evolutionary step in human development. There are others who are interested in finding these people. Some, like Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), are hoping to find them in order to make the world a better place. Still others are out to do both sets of those people harm, though for what reason it isn't yet clear.

I have to admit that this episode starts off in a fashion that is a bit jumbled. This seems to be the fashion lately, with many shows that try to do too much all at once. Perhaps it's just trying to get so many things going, and risk losing people, rather than start slowly and run the risk of losing viewers because they aren't doing enough.
