The next day Jerry is served with papers threatening to take Nathan away from him because he is over two months behind in child support payments. Pam is now living in a nice neighborhood with a more stable man, Teddy Slaughter (Jim Horan), who has asked her to marry him. Pam tells Jerry that he should take any job he can get and start to grow up. After an unpleasant confrontation with Teddy, Jerry leaves more determined than ever to make his stripping plan work.

Jerry and Dave are jogging (or rather, Dave is accompanying Jerry as he trains) when they come upon Malcolm attempting suicide by asphyxiation. They save him and offer him alternative ways to commit suicide. BIG ASS ROCK.

Jerry invites Malcolm to join him in stripping and, since Malcolm has a part-time job as the night security guard at the abandoned steel plant, they now also have a place to rehearse.

Jerry engages Nathan to find them a dance teacher, and Nathan takes them to a dance school where they meet their old boss Harold Nichols (Harv Lester) and his wife Vicki (Kristin Jepperson). They're brushing up on their "cha-cha" for a trip to Puerto Rico. Harold hasn't told Vicki that he has been out of work for the past six months, and through desperation and the hint of blackmail Harold agrees to become the guys' choreographer. But before he can agree to that, Vicki tells them all about LIFE WITH HAROLD.

The guys hold auditions and they aren't going well. However, their showbiz-savvy accompanist Jeanette Burmeister (Liz Weber) - who simply showed up "piano and all" - tells them they'll know when the right guy shows up. "He'll glimmer". Enter Horse (John Michael d’Haviland), a gnarled, depressing and seemingly arthritic 50-year-old man who seems to fulfill a certain kind of fantasy. BIG BLACK MAN.

Later, the good-natured Ethan shows up and openly proclaims that he can't dance or sing, but that he has something to offer. He drops his pants and Jeanette simply says "Gentlemen, put on your sunglasses. We suddenly have a lot of glimmer."
