Ep 10. Kinda Like Necrophilia

At the start of the episode Kinda Like Necrophilia, we see Charlie and Alan discussing their recent experience at a funeral, and the possibility of using their own respective funeral arrangements to pick up women. Charlie seems particularly confident that his “death” will be a great opportunity to get laid.

Meanwhile, Jake is struggling with schoolwork, and Alan decides to hire a tutor named Brooke to help him out. Brooke is young, attractive, and bubbly, and both Charlie and Alan can’t help but be drawn to her flirtatious personality. As it turns out, Brooke seems to be interested in Charlie specifically, and they begin to flirt heavily throughout the episode.

At the same time, Jake’s tutoring sessions with Brooke seem to be making a real difference, and he’s finally beginning to understand his schoolwork more clearly. However, his success comes at a price: he starts to develop a crush on Brooke himself, and becomes jealous of the attention she’s giving his uncle.

As Charlie and Brooke’s relationship continues to heat up, Brooke reveals that she’s actually a mortician-in-training, and that her fascination with Charlie is rooted in her love of all things death-related. Charlie is initially taken aback by this revelation, but quickly begins to see it as another opportunity to get laid. He even takes Brooke to a funeral with him, hoping that it will set the mood for a romantic night together.

Jake, however, is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the situation. He tries to talk to his dad about his concerns, but Alan is too busy dealing with his own jealousy and attraction to Brooke to pay much attention. Eventually, Jake takes matters into his own hands and confronts Brooke about her flirtatious behavior with both Charlie and himself. Brooke realizes that she’s been unintentionally leading Jake on, and apologizes to him, ultimately causing Charlie and Alan’s chances with her to disappear.

As the episode draws to a close, Jake seems to be feeling better about his schoolwork, and Alan and Charlie are left to pick up the pieces of their failed romantic pursuits. However, the episode ends on a hopeful note, with all three men sitting down together to watch a TV show about sex education, proving that, in the end, they’re still a family that can rely on each other.
