Guest Star: Mindy Cohn (Rosa Banducci)
It's Valentine's Day at the Chapel and the boys are left dateless, so they decide to spend the evening playing poker and swapping "bad date" stories.
Sal talks about the night before he married his wife, Rosa. Penhall tells a farcical story about attempting to date beautiful twins on the same night/same restaurant - only to confess he made up the entire story! Fuller talks about how jealousy and misunderstanding led to his divorce. Hoffs arrives late from a bad date of her own in which her gentleman made a failed effort to serenade her at a Sushi place. Hanson talks about his High School Prom date, tragically the night his father was killed in a holdup.
I liked how the episode moves from the comical to the tragic as we learn more character backstories. DeLuise seemed to be having fun, while Depp brought his usual angst. Overall, a mostly easy-going "hangout" entry in the series.
Final Report: B+
