Murphy could get her groove back if only Miles would go away.

Warning: Spoilers
Jon Tenney is handsome, charming and intelligent as Miles' older brother, Josh, quite different than his nebish sibling, and it's an instant spark between him and Murphy. This episode is also the introduction of Jane Leeves as Audrey, Miles' new girlfriend who spends a double date with them basically bashing Miles hysterically for his unromantic demeanor. Miles makes fun of the age difference between Josh and Murphy, then after claiming to accept their relationship, plays Mr Tagalong to prevent them from getting too intimate. Grant Shaud is hysterical as he shows off Miles' insecurities, starting in the very first scene when Miles comes in with a new suit, still containing the tag. Thinking that he's finally out of his brother's shadow, Miles is upset by the fact that Josh is able to move in on something that he can now claim as his own. It's very funny to see Murphy upset in a silly way over the fact that Josh chooses his brother over her, having been definitely in the mood for something physical with him. You have to appreciate the fact that Diane English really created a well-rounded character, showing these aspects of a seemingly grounded woman whose needs go beyond the stereotypical feminine things, and indicate that the genders may not have as many differences as society has taught us.
