Plot summary

Adam is a speaker at a combined Al-Anon/AA meeting, and much to Bonnie's chagrin, ends up befriending her sponsee Rod. Bonnie becomes furious at Adam after Rod reveals he would prefer to have a male sponsor, as he is not himself when around women. This is emphasized when Jill continuously encounters Rod and they exchange snarky remarks, but that doesn't stop them from sleeping together. In the end, Bonnie introduces Rod to Marjorie in hopes that she will be his sponsor. Title meaning: What Jill calls Rod when the group is observing him and Adam at the bistro and an alcoholic Adam refers to during his share.
