Ed installed a speed bump for her. How romantic is that.
This episode picks up where the last one left off, with the KISS still fresh on everyone's mind. Or according to Ed, the kiss Rosemary (Jean Smart) gave him.
Ed has his first Homeowner's Association meeting. Rosemary wants a speed bump and Ed doesn't. After the meeting he and secretary Marvin Dingle (Don Lake) both admit to carrying a torch for Rosemary.
Later when Ed and Rosemary are alone together, they start to bond a little. Rosemary asked him what he thought of the Cohens, Irving and Ting-Ting. To Ed's response, "Quite a pair." Rosemary makes a quip, "Yes, I think he got them for her." They both laugh at the joke.
When they seemed to be hitting it off, Ed offered to take Rosemary upstairs. He's going too fast for her. Maybe she should put a speed bump on him instead. She tells him that she believes in romance; she needs to be courted.
Needing a woman's point of view, Ed seeks Bonnie's advice. "Who courts at my age?"
Bonnie guesses the real reason why he might not want to romance Rosemary. "I think you are afraid to put your heart on the line, because you really like this woman, ... You've been burned. And I think you are afraid to let that happen again."
Ed makes his move at the Gloucester House Restoration party. He confronts Rosemary in his Navy whites, looking every bit like the captain of the Love Boat. (Just in case you didn't know who Captain Stubbing was.)
"If you're willing to give it a shot, I'm willing to take it slow."
Ed even had a surprise in store for her on the drive home, one which Marvin made Rosemary think had something to do with luring her to his bedroom. This upsets her and leaves Ed even more confused.
When she found out the surprise was the speed bump, he had installed on their street, she rushed into his arms drenched in milkshake, to let him know who her hero is, with a big kiss.

Courting to be continued.
Meanwhile, when Vince starts growing a moustache, Henry bet he can grow a better one, in a week. In the end, Ed still thinks Vince looked like his mother and Henry got a burn when Ed peeled off his fake one.
Comments:
Tila Tequila's appearance had some people worried about the future of $#*! My Dad Says. Her Ting-Ting got the most jokes for any single episodes. I think they said Ting-Ting more than ten times in the whole thing. Including Ed's best line, "I just need someone to be an Irving to my Ting-Ting." It's certainly a lot funnier than seeing Marvin dressed up in ridiculous clothes that no self-respecting man over the age of twenty would be caught dead in.
What do you think?
