Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

After a conversation about each other constantly seeing the wrong people, Mel and Joe agree to date someone that the other person set up for them. Joe goes on a date with Ariel ( Dilshad Vadsaria ), one of Mel's business colleagues, and it seemingly goes well until she refuses to partake in Joe's interests. Mel sees Clark ( John Ducey ), a friend of Joe's, who gets overly emotional when reminiscing about his ex-wife. Lennox is kicked off of the school blog and so she decides to create her own, devoting all of her free time to it.

This annoys her new boyfriend, Haskell, whom she begins to ignore. Allusion to Clarissa Explains It All: Ryder suggests that Lennox call her blog " Lennox Explains It All " when she has difficulty picking out a fitting name. Lennox refers to the idea as "original", though the name refers to the 1990s teen sitcom starring Melissa Joan Hart.
