Oscar the Model is the eighth episode of the first season of The Odd Couple. In this episode, Oscar gets an offer from a modeling agency to appear in a billboard campaign for a new line of underwear. At first, Oscar is hesitant about the idea, but he eventually agrees to do it after being convinced by his friends.

Meanwhile, Felix is dealing with his own issues. He is upset because his ex-wife is dating his therapist, and he is finding it hard to move on. To cheer him up, Oscar promises to take him out for a night on the town.

As Oscar prepares for his modeling gig, Felix tags along and takes it upon himself to become Oscar's personal stylist. He selects a variety of different outfits for Oscar to wear, but Oscar is not impressed. He wants to look more masculine, but Felix insists that he needs to evoke a "sophisticated European charm."

Despite Felix's efforts, Oscar feels uncomfortable in front of the camera. During the photo shoot, he becomes increasingly nervous and starts acting awkwardly. When the photographer asks him to remove his shirt, Oscar starts to panic and runs off to the bathroom.

Eventually, Oscar manages to compose himself and returns to the photo shoot. He manages to deliver some decent shots, but the photographer is not impressed. He tells Oscar that he needs to be more comfortable with his body and let go of his insecurities.

Meanwhile, Felix is still struggling to cope with his feelings. He reveals to Oscar that he has been stalking his ex-wife and her new boyfriend, and he is finding it hard to move on. Oscar tries to give him some advice, but Felix is not interested in hearing it.

As the night wears on, Oscar and Felix continue their night out. They visit a series of bars and clubs, but Felix's mood remains somber. Eventually, they find themselves at a strip club, where Felix finally opens up about his feelings. Oscar listens attentively and offers his support.

In the end, Oscar manages to land the modeling gig, but he realizes that it is not as glamorous as he thought it would be. He decides that he is better off sticking to his day job. Meanwhile, Felix begins to come to terms with his feelings and starts to move on from his ex-wife.

Overall, Oscar the Model is a heartfelt episode that deals with issues of self-image, insecurity, and moving on from the past. It showcases the chemistry between the two lead characters and highlights the importance of friendship and support.
