The "manhood" tutorial for Spinelli is still underway at Jake's. A woman walks in and Spinelli approaches her in spite of Coleman's warnings.

He orders a shot of whiskey for himself and a vodka shot for the lady. Jason arrives and asks him what's going on. Spinelli shakes him off and delivers the drink to his new female friend. She takes it and says, "It'll be $250." Spinelli thinks she's asking for a loan and he says he can offer a shoulder to cry on or a small loan, but that's a lot of money.

Coleman and Jason explain that she's a working woman and finally Spinelli gets it. He's upset that hookers weren't on Dr. Patrick and Coleman's list of advice.
