Val and Holly's Not Boyfriends is the seventeenth episode of the second season of What I Like About You. The show revolves around the lives of two sisters, Holly and Val, and their adventures in New York City.
In this episode, Val and Holly both find themselves in relationships with men who are not their boyfriends. Val's boss, Vic, is in town and she convinces him to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to impress her ex-boyfriend, Rick. Holly, on the other hand, is dating a guy named Dan, but starts to develop feelings for her co-worker Vince.
As the episode unfolds, Val becomes increasingly stressed out about keeping up the charade with Vic and keeping him away from Rick. Meanwhile, Holly struggles with her feelings for Vince and trying to figure out what to do about her relationship with Dan.
Things come to a head when Val and Vic run into Rick while out on a date together. Val is forced to come clean about the fact that Vic is not actually her boyfriend, and Rick is less than impressed. Holly, on the other hand, decides to break things off with Dan so as not to lead him on while she figures out her feelings for Vince.
Throughout the episode, we see the sisters turn to each other for advice and support as they navigate their romantic entanglements. They also have some hilarious interactions with their friends and family, including Holly's kooky neighbor Tina and Val's overly dramatic friend Lauren.
Ultimately, the episode ends on a positive note for both Val and Holly. Val realizes that she doesn't need to impress her ex-boyfriend and can be happy being single, while Holly decides to take things slow with Vince and see where their relationship goes.
With its relatable plot and hilarious cast of characters, Val and Holly's Not Boyfriends is a standout episode in the second season of What I Like About You. It offers a fun and lighthearted look at the ups and downs of modern dating, as well as the importance of sisterly love and support.
