Little do they know that this particular Friday night will bring a whole new level of comic hijinks, centered around the appearance of Adam's new girlfriend.

Adam, the quirky and often socially awkward middle child, has finally found love with the enigmatic, free-spirited, and rarely seen on the show, Jackie's dreaded "other woman" – another woman being any woman who threatens Jackie's reign as the numero uno female presence in her sons' lives.

With everyone on edge about the upcoming guest's arrival, true to form, the Goodman household quickly spirals into an evening of increasingly bizarre and hilarious misadventures. As the doorbell finally rings, the chaotic charm of the family is unleashed, leaving viewers bracing themselves for the series' signature blend of absurd humor and witty banter.

But with Martin obsessing over his memorabilia collection, consisting mainly of historical newspaper clippings and oddball trinkets, and Jackie obsessing over her latest weight loss routine, it becomes abundantly clear that this ordinary family gathering is about to descend into absolute chaos.

Throw in the volatile but endearing sibling rivalry between Adam and Jonny, the unexpected arrival of their creepy neighbor Jim, and a series of increasingly ridiculous situations, and the stage is set for a memorable and sidesplitting evening.

As the evening unfolds, Adam's girlfriend finds herself thrown headfirst into the Goodman family's unique brand of madness. From accidental fires and squabbling siblings to Jackie's disastrous cooking and Martin's questionable parenting advice, she quickly learns that surviving a Friday night dinner with the Goodmans is no small feat.

Through the chaos and laughter, the episode subtly explores themes of family dynamics, love, and the lengths people will go to feel accepted. It also delves into the bittersweet nature of relationships, highlighting the uphill battle Adam's girlfriend faces in her quest to fit into this peculiar family unit.

With its sharp-witted writing, brilliant comedic timing, and a cast of eccentric characters played masterfully by the talented ensemble, "The Girlfriend" marks a promising start to the highly anticipated third season of Friday Night Dinner.
