Ep 12. Welcome to Alancrest

In Two and A Half Men season 10, episode 12, titled "Welcome to Alancrest," Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) finally gets the chance to prove to his new girlfriend Lyndsey McElroy's (Courtney Thorne-Smith) ex-husband, Chris (Chris O'Donnell), that he is responsible and can take care of a family. To do this, Alan invites Chris and his wife over for dinner at Walden Schneider's (Ashton Kutcher) beach house.

However, just as Alan is trying his best to impress Chris, his crazy sister-in-law, Linda (Megan Stevenson), shows up uninvited. Linda has always been something of an unpredictable wildcard, and her sudden appearance threatens to derail Alan's carefully planned evening. Meanwhile, Jake (Angus T. Jones), Alan's son, has been spending all his time studying with his girlfriend, Tammy (Jaime Pressly), and he is starting to feel the pressure of being the perfect boyfriend.

As the night goes on, tensions rise, and secrets are revealed. Walden tries to keep the peace, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep everyone happy.
