Seasons & Episode
Leo talks George into visiting his new love Tasha, a massage therapist, but Leo fumes when he's convinced that their session turned out to be more than professional. (Part one of two)
Every week, George loses himself in a poker game with friends. But when Leo finds out that Walt, his supposed best friend, is also part of these weekly sessions, Leo is bitten by the jealousy bug and demands to be included. Meanwhile, Ted agrees to be hypnotized by Ambrose in order to deal with his squeamishness about the delivery room.
In his efforts to become a better father and grandfather, Leo signs up for a business course. George is very supportive, and when he meets Leo's teacher, a woman who can make even mutual funds sound sexy, he's smitten. Unfortunately, the romance runs aground when Leo tries to use George's influence to pass a test.
Leo has a mild heart attack and, thinking he's going to that big Las Vegas Hilton in the sky, gathers his nine ex-wives together to atone for being such a bad husband. The wives, thinking that Leo is leaving them money, descend on the Vineyard, and on George.
George hosts a tour of his home in period costume in hopes of becoming President of the Historic Conservancy, but his high hopes of finally winning the annual historic house tour end in a drunken haze after Leo and Ambrose spike the egg-nog.
For years, George has hosted the same old (boring) Thanksgiving dinner. This year, with the addition of Leo, the party is suddenly festive - for everyone but George. Leo starts by flirting with George's beloved niece, Martha and their subsequent fling nearly drives George over the edge. Meanwhile, the sibling rivalry that Ted has nurtured for years is in full activation when his brother, Chip, shows up in his new Lexus.
Secretive Sheila shows up one day in the bookstore, and George is somewhat stunned when she asks him out on a date. So is Leo, because he can't shake the nagging feeling that he and Sheila have met before. George's date is cut short when Leo finally remembers the shocking truth about Sheila and an old chapter in his life.
