In the seventeenth episode of season one of Home Improvement titled "What About Bob?", Tim accidentally invites one of Jill's classmates to their romantic weekend at a cabin.

The episode starts with Tim and Jill discussing their upcoming romantic weekend getaway at a cabin. Tim asks Wilson for some advice on how to keep the romance alive, and Wilson suggests bringing some music, wine, and incense to set the mood.

Later, Jill invites her old college friend, Bob, to come over for dinner. Bob seems interested in Jill, and Tim becomes jealous. When Bob starts talking about his girlfriend, who is out of town, Tim asks him to join them at the cabin.

The next day, Tim realizes the mistake he has made, but it's too late. Bob is excited about the trip and has already packed his bags. Tim is not thrilled about the idea of spending a romantic weekend away with Jill and Bob, but he doesn't want to disappoint Jill or hurt Bob's feelings, so he decides to go along with it.

Throughout the episode, Tim becomes increasingly annoyed with Bob, who seems to be getting in the way of their romantic weekend. Bob is playing his guitar while Tim is trying to set up a romantic dinner for Jill, and he's constantly asking for advice on how to win over Jill.

Meanwhile, Wilson tries to help Tim out by teaching him how to play the saxophone, which he believes will set the mood for a romantic evening. However, Tim struggles to play the saxophone and ends up making a lot of noise, which only adds to his frustration.

As the weekend progresses, Tim's jealousy and annoyance towards Bob reach a boiling point. He tries to avoid him as much as possible, but Bob keeps popping up, asking for advice or trying to play his guitar. In the end, Tim finally explodes at Bob, which causes Bob to leave in a huff.

The episode ends with Tim realizing that he has hurt Bob's feelings and that he needs to apologize. He goes out to look for Bob and finds him playing his guitar outside of the cabin. Tim apologizes, and they make amends.

Overall, "What About Bob?" is a hilarious episode full of awkward moments and misunderstandings. It's a great example of the show's unique blend of comedy and heart, and it's sure to leave viewers laughing and feeling good.
