Ep 12. Chocolate Diddlers Or My Puppy's Dead

Alan is excited for a job interview at a luxury hotel as their head of catering. He asks Charlie, who has nothing better to do, to watch over his son Jake while he's gone. Charlie initially agrees, but when he hears that Chelsea is going to be out of town and leaving her dog behind, he changes his mind and decides to care for the dog instead.

Things quickly spiral out of control as Charlie struggles to take care of the high-maintenance dog. Meanwhile, Alan's interview doesn't go as planned and he comes home to find Charlie in a state of emergency with the dog. They rush to the vet and learn some shocking news about the dog's condition.

While at the vet, the brothers encounter a group of women who are part of a book club called the "Chocolate Diddlers". Charlie is intrigued and invites them back to the house for drinks and discussion. However, their evening takes a dark turn when Charlie realizes they aren't just a harmless book club.

Throughout the episode, we see the brothers both struggling with responsibility and learning important life lessons. Charlie, who has always been more concerned with his own pleasure and comfort, is forced to confront the realities of taking care of something other than himself. Alan, who has always been more responsible and organized, is forced to confront his own insecurities and learn to take risks.

Ultimately, the episode ends on a bittersweet note as the brothers reflect on their experiences and look forward to the future.
