Pilot
Friends Mike, Adam and Ethan are each at different points in their lives in terms of their romantic relationships. Mike is married to Lisa and the two have a young son. Family demands stretch Mike thin in terms of time for himself, and he finds himself getting his "me" time watching movies in his car, and thinking Lisa has no idea it's going on, even though she's all too aware. Adam has just moved in with his girlfriend, Callie, and he finds living together is a whole lot different than "she comes over a lot," and they are just starting to figure out how to reconcile their life together with the previous freedom of their single lives. Ethan, who is perpetually single, thinks dating the same woman for three weeks is an extended commitment.

En Fuego
Mike and Ethan learn that Adam has been hanging onto "CJ," a stuffed animal he won for Callie at a carnival when they were first dating and a sort of "go-to" move that Adam has used in the past to win over the ladies. When the guys get rid of CJ, Callie becomes noticeably upset over the missing toy, so Adam tries to win a replica to replace Callie's before she figures out what happened to it. Meanwhile, Lisa's company hosts a charity tennis tournament, and she teams up with Ethan's former flame to form the "Smash Sisters." But their plans for intimidation on the court take a turn when Ethan reunites with his ex-girlfriend.

All The Precedent's Men
When Lisa encourages Mike to meet with a young female colleague seeking professional advice, Mike hesitates but soon discovers that she is attractive, sports-savvy and able to hang with the guys. After meetings between Mike and his new friend become more frequent, Lisa is prompted to join them, and she and Mike are surprised by her unique proposition. Meanwhile, morning commutes become less solitary for Adam when Callie starts calling him on the way to work, and Ethan attempts to eliminate indications that his relationship with a new girl is becoming serious.

Credit Balance
When free-spirited Callie admits to frugal Adam that she is in major debt and then goes to extreme measures to secure a royal interview for him, Adam worries that the differences in their approach to finances might be too much for their relationship to handle. Meanwhile, while taking care of Tommy in the mornings for Lisa, Mike is surprised by how much he enjoys the morning coffee dates with the other neighborhood moms, who welcome him immediately into their tight-knit group, and Ethan finds it difficult to break up with a girl after she makes a bold move.

Breaking Bread
Callie finds a lost puppy belonging to one of their elderly neighbors, but when Adam unintentionally takes credit for rescuing the puppy, the neighbor shows her appreciation to Adam almost too generously. When Lisa complains about the noise coming from their music-blasting neighbor, Mike's plan to confront his neighbor and ensure peace and quiet takes an unexpected turn. Meanwhile, Ethan's girlfriend takes interest in meeting his wise next-door neighbor face-to-face.

No Good Deed
When Adam accidentally gets Callie's car stolen, he tries to make it up to her by replacing the old car with a brand-new hybrid. In an effort to surprise Callie with a brand-new car, Adam enlists the help of Mike and Ethan to get the best deal on the car, but the hunt for the best bargain turns into a competition. Meanwhile, Mike's grown-up "little brother" from a mentor program he used to volunteer for visits Mike and Lisa and surprises them both with an unexpected book dedication, and Ethan befriends a loner car salesman.

Stealth Bomber
Mike's ego suffers a blow when he finds out that Lisa's recent promotion gave her a slight edge in salary earnings, so Mike tries to convince his boss, Harvey, to give him a tiny pay bump - just enough to keep his salary above Lisa's. Meanwhile, now that Adam and Callie are living together, Adam is forced to confront his bathroom phobia at Mike and Lisa's barbecue, while Callie's free-spirited and sex-obsessed sister, Kate, proves to be a match for Ethan.

Kiss Me, Kate
Callie's free-spirited and sex-obsessed sister, Kate, wears out her welcome at Adam and Callie's place, so the couple sets her up with a part-time job at Adam's office. When Ethan saves Lisa's life at a swimming pool, Mike shows his gratitude by giving him his beloved college t-shirt. But when Ethan flaunts the garment, Mike stages a table-tennis challenge to settle the score for rightful ownership. Meanwhile, Kate and Adam's obnoxious boss, Kev, start hooking up, making the work environment even more uncomfortable for Adam.

Best Man
Lisa gets staffed on an out-of-town project with a clingy and often inappropriate co-worker and asks Callie to come along to photograph the piece and serve as a buffer. Meanwhile, Adam's boss, Kev, assigns him to cover a bachelor party for a new article, so Adam takes it upon himself to redo Mike's bachelor party after ruining his the first time around. But when Ethan's new girlfriend, Adam's boss and Mike's boss crash the party, Mike's bachelor party redux gets out of hand.

Help Wanted
Mike and Lisa hire a hot young babysitter for Tommy, but the skimpily clad teen brings more teen angst to the household than the Rileys can handle. Meanwhile, when a disabled food-delivery guy accidentally intrudes upon Callie's naked dance party, Adam finally confronts her about her habits in the apartment. But when they find out the delivery guy is also a computer whiz and decide to hire him, Adam learns a lesson in indecent exposure the hard way. Also, Mike and Adam try to convince Ethan to get rid of his hideous necklace, but he finds comfort in a new fling who does not see the necklace the same way.

Where The Heart Is
Lisa tries to keep track of Mike's whereabouts by using the GPS trackers on their cell phones, and Mike uses reverse psychology to keep tabs on her as well. Meanwhile, Adam's boss at Bloke Magazine assigns him to write an article on intimacy, but when Callie stumbles upon his research material, she misconstrues it as a hint to spice up their relationship. Also, Ethan gets into trouble when his organ delivery ends up in the wrong hands.

Tommy Guns
For his annual guys' trip with Adam and Ethan, Mike suggests a hunting expedition as a way to get back to their roots, but the guys have a hard time taking the idea seriously. Meanwhile, Lisa worries that Tommy is growing up too fast and insists on taking baby photos to remember his childhood. Callie offers to take the pictures, but money complicates their friendship when payment is left undefined.
