Eric has his eye on a junior exec at the investment banking firm where he sorts the mail.

Donny's photography career gets a bit of a boost when his new rep - Eric - exhibits his work in the apartment house laundry room.

The guys both have Halloween dates. Eric's is only a "pre-date" with Maria, but Donny has another chance with "trainer girl" Reni and, as she puts it, "I need intimacy".

Eric has the same old problem: he can't get Maria to take him seriously. He's also mad at Donny, whose new buddy is "temporarily" dating her.

Donny is ambivalent when a supermodel takes a shine to him; Evelyn has a fit because she wants the woman to model a blouse she's designed.

Donny comes to a disturbing realization when his visiting mother meets his new girlfriend Jennifer: he has a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad.

While Maria schemes to get a glimpse of the Pope, who's visiting New York, Eric's literary career takes an unexpected turn - thanks in part to His Holiness.
