Plot summary
One of Charlie's regular restaurant clients, an attractive and wealthy woman named Kathleen Isley, tries to seduce him, but he refuses. On Charlie and Emily's second date, she says she thinks it is too soon to sleep with Charlie, so he betrays her when he has sex with Kathleen behind Emily's back. Meanwhile, Julia is having problems in her computer class and asks a student to be her tutor. She does not want any help from Justin, so they make a deal: an 'A' for a date. Elsewhere, Bailey gets a $40,000 scholarship to attend a college in New Hampshire from an elderly stranger.
During dinner, his benefactor asks too much about Bailey's parents. The next day Bailey goes to the cemetery and finds yellow roses by his mother's grave. After confronting him, Bailey figures that the man who is helping him is in fact his maternal grandfather Jacob 'Jake' Gordon (guest star Carroll O'Connor ). Bailey asks him to meet the others, but he refuses, claiming that he does not want to associate himself with his daughter's children. As a result, Bailey tells him that he does not want anything from him. He surprises everybody at the end when he introduces himself during family dinner at Salinger's.
