Gary Unmarried is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from September 24, 2008, to March 17, 2010. It follows the life of Gary Brooks, played by Jay Mohr, a recently divorced father of two who tries to start over while co-parenting his kids with his ex-wife, Allison, played by Paula Marshall. In the twentieth episode of season one, titled "Gary Fixes Allison's Garbage Disposal," Gary offers to fix Allison's clogged garbage disposal, but things don't go as planned.

The episode begins with Gary trying to fix his own garbage disposal when Allison calls him for help. She's having the same problem and is overwhelmed with work, so she asks him to take a look at hers while he's there. Gary agrees, but he's not too thrilled about it. He arrives at Allison's house, and she shows him the problem. Gary quickly discovers that the sink is clogged, and the garbage disposal is not broken. He then takes it upon himself to fix the clogged sink and garbage disposal.

Gary starts by trying to unclog the sink with a plunger, but the suction is so strong that it pulls the entire sink out of the wall. He manages to get it back in place, but the drainpipe falls off, causing water to spill all over his shirt. Allison sees the mess and decides to help, but she makes it worse by accidentally disconnecting the garbage disposal. Now, they're both covered in water, and the kitchen is flooded.

Gary tries to fix the garbage disposal, but he can't seem to get it right. Allison suggests they call a plumber, but Gary doesn't want to admit defeat. He spends the entire day trying to fix the garbage disposal, and the sink, but every attempt ends in failure. He even resorts to using a coat hanger to try and unclog the drain, but that doesn't work either.

Meanwhile, Louise, Gary's assistant, is trying to pitch a new commercial to a client, but she can't seem to get the script right. She asks Sasha, Gary's ex-wife, to help her, but Sasha is busy with her new boyfriend. Louise is stressed out, and she takes it out on their intern, Tom. Eventually, Sasha and Gary team up to help Louise, and they come up with a great commercial.

Back at Allison's house, Gary has finally given up on fixing the garbage disposal. He tells Allison that they need to call a plumber, but she has already done so. The plumber arrives, fixes the problem in no time, and leaves. Gary is embarrassed that he couldn't fix it himself, but Allison reassures him that it's okay.

In the end, Gary and Allison are both exhausted and covered in water, but they laugh it off. They realize that they make a good team, and that they can rely on each other when they need it. The episode ends with Gary leaving Allison's house, promising to never try to fix anything again.
