Nate is set up to go on a blind date with Susan, only when he goes to pick her up, he picks up Marni, who was set to go on a different blind date. After talking through dinner, they realize they are perfect for each other, but also realize that they are on the wrong dates.

To make it up to Marni for throwing Todd out on their first date, Nate decides he will spend a day hanging out with Todd. However, Nate doesn't really want to hang out with him. Nate makes up excuses to avoid Todd, but Marni ruins his plans. Todd joins in on a basketball game that Nate and Bowie are playing. Todd continuously harasses Nate, causing Nate to bring out his true feelings about Todd.

Marni has never seen Nate's apartment, so she invites herself over one night. However, Nate is embarrased to have Marni see the clutter in his apartment, so he makes excuses to keep her away. Tess tells Marni to break in to see it while Nate is at work, only they get more than they bargained for when they do.

Nate decides that he wants to become closer to Marni, so he brings a cup of her favourite tea to the hospital where she works. When he gets there he is surprised to find that Marni has another boyfriend, albeit an imaginary one.

Nate spends the night at Marni's for the first time, and they decide to have a picnic the next day. The only trouble is Marni's father, who abandoned her, causes some problems on the way to their picnic.
