Mrs. Fifer announces that she is moving out.  Mr. Fifer convinces Drew to take him out on the town to meet women.  Drew's plan to discourage him fails, but Mr. Fifer soon goes running back to his wife after an evening with the gang shows him that single life may not be as exciting as he had imagined.  Kate and Oswald go to marriage counseling after she complains that he spends too much time with Lewis.
