Charlie and his mom temporarily become friends until Charlie takes an interest in one of her married clients, and Alan goes to bed with a woman who has self-esteem issues. Charlie ends up having to go to one of Evelyn's firm get togethers, but the event ends up giving the two a friendship. However, Charlie sleeps with a woman that he met at the party against Evelyn's orders, but she firmly takes this into an advantage. Alan sleeps with a woman named Sharon (played by Jeanene Garofalo), who behaves oddly the next morning.
