Their friends Sylvia and Donovan from "Romeo and Romeo" are getting rid of stuff. Burt and Virginia are picking out what they want. When Burt complained about Hope crying all night, they suggest sleep training. Burt buys the book they recommended.
Another thing they have in common with the Chances, Sylvia does the nose thing to Donovan too when he gets into a snit.
Jimmy wasn't sure if he wants to let Hope cry in her crib all night, until his parents called him a 'wuss'. He was insecure about everything. (Cue flashback.) Apparently, Maw Maw threatened little Jimmy with Doghead Man. Convinced that it's a good idea, he consents to the sleep training, but only if Burt did it.
"It will kill me to hear her cry that much."
Watch Jimmy's hand gesture when he says that. Makes him look more like a mom than a dad.
Later when Jimmy and Zoey are on a date at art class, he finds out just how wild she really is when she drops robe to pose for the class. It was proof how uptight he was, when he tried to contain her by drawing a bikini on his naked girlfriend.
So funny to see Hope turn too when everyone turned to look at the picture.
Jimmy thinks he's man enough to handle another date with Zoey, that is until he drank some Incan tea and began tripping himself senseless, to the point of seeing Hope on jars of mushed peas and carrots.
Dad, you are high. Better to call your mommy. (In a man's voice?)
Meanwhile, Burt wasn't having an easy time of it helping Hope achieve an emotional conditioning breakthrough where she'd be comfortable and self-soothing. It doesn't help when Virginia and Maw Maw couldn't leave the baby alone.
Maw Maw wanted to take batteries out of Hope's back.
When Maw Maw was lucid enough (6 out 10), she let Virginia know that Wilfred tried to sleep train Virginia too but gave up, because she didn't support him. It didn't work anyway. Virginia was too clingy. She's still living in her house.
Virginia finds out later about Burt success with Hope. So when Jimmy, in his drug-addled state, called home for help, she agreed with Burt to let Jimmy over come his own demons. Jimmy took the first step by giving Barney (Doghead man to him) the punch in the face he wanted for joining Frank's fight club.
Jimmy confided in Sabrina, about breaking up with Zoey. She was a crazy, inconsiderate, drug-addicted tramp, but still a nice girl.
More goodies:
Burt thinking he could see what's under the drawing's bikini by erasing it off.
Jimmy weird out about to talk to girl about her guy. Wyatt uses a body shaving kit.
Jimmy is not not messed up.
"Watch Wizard of Oz and listen to Dark Side of the Moon at the same time." Oddly enough I know what this means. I have Pink Floyd's full-length presentation of this song, perfectly synchronized with MGM's classic movie. I still have to watch it though.
