Jason, egged on by his friends (and several beers), posts an ad looking for Jane on missed connections. Tina loses her license to mock him, when, while anxiously awaiting a text from Brett, she de-virginizes an intern. Stacey and Eric have new mattress sex on a mattress that turns out to be anything but new.

Jason and Tina plan a wild night out, hoping it will end their string of bad luck, but Stacey’s bachelorette party and a needy drug dealer get in the way.

Jason still can’t find a job and is getting desperate for cash; Tina has a job, but is also broke due to irresponsible purchases, i.e., high-waisted skinny jeans. So broke in fact, she’s evicted from her apartment. Desperate for money, the pair makes a pact that they will not turn to their respective “safety nets” for help. Sticking to the promise, Tina enlists Stacey to play lawyer, but she’s disappointed when Jason punts entirely and instead chases a cute French girl who promises, “a different way to live.”

Jason tries to impress his high-school crush; Tina goes on a romantic date with Paul; a tough semester has Eric questioning his future.
