In About a Boy season 1 episode 4 titled "About a Girl," Will has a new love interest named Dr. Samantha Lake. She is a pediatrician and her job involves working with sick children. This sparks an interest in Will to be more involved in charity work and become a better person.
Marcus, on the other hand, is struggling with his feelings for a girl named Ellie, who is his classmate. He seeks advice from Will on how to approach her without getting turned down. Will tries to help Marcus by teaching him how to be more confident around girls and giving him tips to win her over.
As the episode progresses, Marcus and Ellie's relationship takes a turn for the worse, and Will becomes more involved in their problems. He realizes that being a good role model for Marcus is more important than pursuing his own love interest. This leads him to cancel his plans with Dr. Samantha to help Marcus and Ellie reconcile.
Will's selflessness pays off when Marcus finally works up the courage to tell Ellie how he feels, and the two start dating. Will realizes that being a good friend and mentor is just as fulfilling as being in a romantic relationship.
Meanwhile, Fiona is dealing with her own problems when she discovers that her ex-husband is getting remarried. She seeks comfort in a support group for divorced women, but ultimately realizes that she doesn't need a man to be happy and satisfied with her life.
The episode ends on a heartwarming note when Will takes Marcus and Ellie on a day trip to an amusement park, where they ride the rollercoasters and bond as friends. Will may not have found love in this episode, but he learned an important lesson about the importance of friendship and sacrifice.
