Episode Synopsis:

Al sinks into a deep depression when he finds out his ex-fiance Ilene is engaged to a new man. After several days of a mopey, despondent Al hanging around the Taylor house for every meal, Jill and the boys make Tim take Al to a singles bar to help wingman him into a new relationship. At the bar, Al meets a girl and hits it off when he claims to be a famous tool show host - and her friend falls hard for Tim, who has to claim to be unmarried in order to keep up the ruse. When the girls want to meet up again the following night, Tim refuses to keep the deception going, forcing Al to come clean to his new lady friend.
