1 hr 16 min - Aisle See You In My DreamsIt’s Al’s 35th birthday, and he’s spending it with the Taylors. When he makes a wish by blowing out the candles on his cake, he reveals that he wished for a wife. Jill immediately knows of someone she wants to set him up with and puts the wheels into motion. Upon first meeting this woman, named Irene, Al finds that they have so much in common, that he decides to skip the courtship and delve right into long-term commitment. On the next day’s episode of Tool Time, he proposes to her on camera, however Tim, at the behest of Jill trying to undo her handy work, convinces him that he should slow things down, and re-dubs the proposal with an invitation to dinner, and some awful Godzilla jokes.Meanwhile, Brad and Randy pull a prank on Mark to make him think that Isiah Thomas has responded to his fan letters, and will visit over the weekend for a hearty dinner of corn on the cob.1 hr 16 min

Episode Synopsis:
When Jill finds out her sister is pregnant with a girl, she finds herself longing to have a daughter of her own. Tim is outright opposed to the idea, as he thinks that three rambunctious boys is more than enough kids. His refusal to budge on the issue angers Jill - but with some help from Wilson, Tim realizes her desire for a daughter is rooted in a need to build a legacy, and he opens up to the idea, only for Jill to tell him that she doesn't really want another kid after all.Meanwhile, Brad and Randy tell Mark that Jill had initially wanted a girl when he was conceived, and that she always bakes with him because she wants him to be a girl too. Jill sets Mark straight by telling him she loves him just as much as he loved the turtle they got him when he really wanted a puppy.
