In 3rd Rock from the Sun season 2 episode 20, titled "Dickmalion," the Solomons attempt to help Harry find a girlfriend. Dick decides to use his art skills to sculpt a bust of a beautiful woman for Harry to use as bait. However, when Nina sees the sculpture, she mistakes it for a self-portrait of Dick and becomes infatuated with him.
Meanwhile, Sally becomes obsessed with the history of Halloween and decides to teach the Solomons about the holiday. She takes them to a store where they end up buying costumes and get caught up in the excitement of Halloween.
As Harry prepares for his date with a woman he met online, the Solomons try to teach him about the ways of human dating. They give him tips on how to behave, what to say, and even how to dress. When Harry meets his date, things quickly become awkward and he begins to second-guess all of the advice he was given.
Back at the apartment, Nina continues to pursue Dick, who is completely oblivious to her advances. She invites him over for a Halloween party and he arrives dressed as a giant hot dog. Nina, of course, has a matching bun costume and the two dance and flirt all night.
The episode comes to a close as Dick and Nina finally begin to realize the mutual attraction they have for each other. Harry, on the other hand, is left alone and disappointed after his disastrous date.
"Dickmalion" is a hilarious episode that showcases the Solomons' continued struggles to understand human behavior. The subplot about Sally's fascination with Halloween adds a fun and quirky element to the episode, while the main plot about Harry's search for love is both endearing and relatable. Overall, this episode is a must-see for fans of the show.
