Beverly causes trouble in Adam's relationship when she learns that Brea's mom is divorced. Meanwhile, newly-single Barry feels left out now that the JTP all have girlfriends.

Quote from Barry

Andy: Ah, we're gonna need a rain check, man. We have a quadruple date at Bennigan's. Our ladies like to day drink in a funky atmosphere.
Barry: But article nine of the JTP bylaws states that all members must heed the wishes of its most jacked leader. Me.
Geoff: I don't remember signing off on that one.
Barry: That's because it was just added. The JTP Constitution is a living document.
Naked Rob: Yeah, these rules seem to change based on your arbitrary whims.
Barry: Ah, Naked Rob gets it. Now let's grab a weapon and smash some stuff. I call whatever this is!
Matt: Ooh, that's our decorative river cane. Let's... Let's leave that be.
Barry: Now I'm angrier than Gwen at her father. Damn it! I learned her name. Let's move!

Quote from Barry

Naked Rob: We like them a lot.
Barry: More than me, your best friend?
Andy: Well...
Naked Rob: It's not the same.
Matt: Their hugs are different.
Barry: Oh, get over here! There's not a lady alive I can't out-hug.

Quote from Beverly

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Yeah, Mrs. Bee in my house was bound to be bad. But then the craziest thing happened. She and my mom became fast friends.
Vicki Bee: I probably shouldn't admit this but... I took a teeny peek at one of Adam and Brea's love letters.
Beverly: I read 'em all.
Vicki Bee: Me too. It was a little upsetting.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: So tell me, how do we pull the reins on their stupid, misguided, teenage love?
Vicki Bee: Maybe we talk to them as adults?
Beverly: Ooh, I got one. We trick them into thinking that marriage is a faulty, loveless institution that yields no permanent joy or happiness.
Vicki Bee: Oh, I've already done that.
Beverly: Oh?
Vicki Bee: Brea's dad and I went through a nasty split.
Beverly: Wasdatnow?
Vicki Bee: Yeah, we're divorced.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Yep, back in the day, people were uncomfortable with the "D" word.
Beverly: Oh.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] My mom was definitely one of them.
Beverly: Wow.
Vicki Bee: Truthfully, it ended up being the best thing for everyone.

Quote from Beverly

Adult Adam: [v.o.] My mom was upset over the news of Vicki's divorce, and my dad wasn't helping.
Beverly: So this doesn't bother you?
Murray: She's divorced, big deal.
Beverly: So you don't care about Adam splitting with Brea and only seeing his children half the time? So help me, if she takes those little munchkins out of state, I will kidnap them!

Quote from Beverly

Adult Adam: [v.o.] While Barry's lies stunned the JTP, my mom was about to face a very angry Mrs. Bee.
Beverly: Vicki! To what do I owe this...
Vicki Bee: Cut the crap, Beverly. Did you tell Dale Woodburn that I was single and ready to swingle?
Beverly: [scoffs] Not in those words.
Vicki Bee: He just called and asked me to be his date to his cousin's sobriety anniversary.
Beverly: Meeting the family! Wow, you move fast!
Vicki Bee: I'm not going anywhere with him! Only one side of his body sweats.
Beverly: That's called Harlequin syndrome. It's a real nervous disorder. And I would think you'd be more sympathetic given your situation.
Vicki Bee: My situation? Meaning I'm divorced? Something you're clearly not comfortable with.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: I have no issue, zero, with the fact that you are [whispers] divorced.
Vicki Bee: Then why can't you say it?
Beverly: Please! [chuckles] Give me a soap box and a megaphone! You are [whispers] divorced.
Vicki Bee: Here's something I have no problem saying: you're crazy. Your whole family is crazy!
Beverly: How dare you?! That is something that you whisper!
Vicki Bee: Why? The whole world should know. Your husband doesn't wear pants.
Beverly: And?
Vicki Bee: And he threw out all your phones.
Beverly: And?
Vicki Bee: And you dragged your son to school to scare him with the marital woes of the faculty!
Beverly: That's a good one.

Quote from Adam

Adam: What. Did. You. Do?
Beverly: Nothing! [scoffs] She called our family crazy for some reason.
Adam: For all the reasons! It's well established you're a mentally deranged crackpot!
Beverly: Schmoo, don't be upset. I'm just looking out for your best interests.
Adam: Best interests? I thought you read my letters. Brea is my everything. No one who really cared about me would try to take that away.

Quote from Barry

Barry: Fine! You got me. Another Barry prank for the ages. First we laugh, now we make up over Hawaiian pizza.
Andy: No, thanks. This time you went too far, man.
Barry: Only because I wanted to hang out with you guys. And watch the romantic ups and downs of a new mom as seen through the cynical eye of a talking baby.
Naked Rob: Why would we want to hang out with someone who'd try to hurt us?
Matt: [scoffs] We're gonna go be with our ladies. See ya around, Big Tasty.

Quote from Geoff

Geoff: Why can't you just be happy for them?
Barry: I am. I love those guys. It's just they've always been there when I needed them. And for the first time they're not.
Geoff: That's not true. Bar, haven't I always been there for you?
Barry: Yeah.
Geoff: Look, you can still be a good friend while being in a relationship.
Barry: What's the secret?
Geoff: No secret. You just got to work hard at both. And always make sure no one forgets how much they mean to you.
Barry: Are you saying I should go to them?
Geoff: They're on a group date right now at the mini golf course. So maybe it can wait till...
Barry: I will go to them! Thank you, Geoff.
