Bored To Death Episodes	Season 1
Back To Pazsaz Entertainment Network's Bored To Death Page The Stockholm Syndrome Numbed after his girlfriend moves out because of his repeated failure to stop drinking and smoking pot, between-books novelist Jonathan Ames peruses his favorite Raymond Chandler novel, Farewell, My Lovely, and is inspired to place an ad on the Internet offering his (unlicensed) services as a private investigator. Within hours he gets his first case, involving a 19-year-old girl's desperate search for her missing sister. Despite the fact that he should be working on his second novel, and despite the fact that he is on deadline for a piece he's writing for the magazine he works for, Jonathan heads out into the urban night to track down the girl, embracing his newfound noir-detective status. At the end of a (very long) day, Jonathan earns his fee... and finds he's got another case. The Alanon Case During an unsuccessful attempt to win back Suzanne, Jonathan gets a phone call and a new case: a woman named Jennifer wants him to tail her boyfriend Gary to see if he's been unfaithful. After learning that he and Jennifer share a common pastime (drinking), Jonathan heads out in search of her boyfriend - with uncomfortable results. Meanwhile, Ray brings Jonathan along to his colonic for moral support, and George hatches a knockout plan in which Jonathan will help him cover up an unsightly sore before a big speech. The Case Of The Missing Screenplay Jonathan is with George at George's club, the Print House, when they run into George's favorite ex-wife Priscilla and her husband, Richard Antrem, the new editor of GQ. They've just moved back to New York and it throws George for a loop to see the two of them together, since he and Antrem used to work together and are long-time rivals. Later, George introduces Jonathan to filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, a fan of Jonathan's first novel, who is interested in having him rewrite a screenplay about the poet Frank O'Hara. A young woman, impressed that Jonathan knows Jarmusch, takes him home. When Jonathan realizes with great terror that she is in high school, he tries to extricate himself but her father Dr. Worth, the self-proclaimed Carl Jung of Brooklyn, busts in on them and Jonathan flees - before he can retrieve his personalized Jarmusch script which has fallen behind the psychiatrist's couch. The Case Of The Stolen Skateboard Ray is being drained by a high volume of requests from Michelle and Lisa, the lesbian couple he is donating his sperm to, and Leah's not pleased with the arrangement. However, Leah does refer a case to Jonathan, asking him to help out her friend Allison, a radical vegan whose son's skateboard was stolen by an alpha-male bully named Francisco. Jonathan falls for Allison and, fueled by a make-out session, sets out to retrieve the skateboard. He is interrupted by a phone call from his editor, Caroline, checking up on the progress of his Kama Sutra novel, but quickly puts her off to return to his investigation. The Case Of The Lonely White Dove Jonathan meets a new client, Dimitri, a recently-paroled convict who needs Jonathan to find the love of his life, with whom he spent one special night before going to prison. The woman in question was a singer at Tatiana's, a Russian night club in Brighton Beach, and Dimitri only knows her by her stage name: Irenna, the Lonely White Dove. Meanwhile, George embarks on an exploration of bisexuality (at his therapist's suggestion), as a way to get in touch with his feminine side in order to attract more female readers to his magazine. Jonathan ventures out to Tatiana's and, during a night of vodka shots and dancing, learns the club employs no Lonely Dove, but there is a Lonely Sparrow. He makes a plan with Ray to return to Brighton Beach. Ray invites Leah (who, because they are working on intimacy issues, is disappointed it is not just the two of them) and Jonathan convinces Suzanne to come along for the Brighton Beach night he never gave her. At Tatiana's, Jonathan hears the Lonely Sparrow perform but when he inquires after her, several thugs throw him out of the club. Outside, someone slips him a phone number, supposedly from Irenna who wants him to call. Leah and Suzanne are both upset when their night is cut short. The Case Of The Beautiful Blackmailer Jonathan meets with Mr. Eaton in a diner in New Jersey about a possible case: The married father of two had a tryst with a woman, Sophia, he found on Craigslist who claimed she was also married, but who turned out to be a blackmailer. Sophia has demanded cash payments in exchange for not showing the video of their liaison to Mr. Eaton's wife. Mr. Eaton needs Jonathan to get the tape back. Jonathan sets up his own meeting with Sophia at a New Jersey motor lodge in order to entrap her. Stopping by Edition magazine on his way to the sting, Jonathan cannot hide his secret life from George any longer. He reveals he's been moonlighting as a private detective and tells him about his current case. George wants to go along, insisting it would make a great cover story. George and Ray meet for the first time (Ray is driving the getaway Subaru) and they stop off at a spy store on their way to New Jersey and stock up on equipment. The Case Of The Stolen Sperm Ray is alarmed by the disappearance of the lesbian couple he's helping to start a family; Jonathan warns George not to provoke his rival, Richard Antrem, by belittling him in print. Take A Dive The Edition magazine team of Jonathan, George and Ray train for their pugilistic, triple-header showdown with Richard Antrem and his GQ cohorts.
