As the episode beings, Frank informs the women that they will each be given an opportunity to showcase one of their talents. Each contestant will be given two minutes in the basement with Frank. The three women whose talents impress Frank the most will be invited on a group date to the Brooklyn bridge. Frank uses his microwave as a timer for each date. During the challenge, Christy decided to teach Frank hula-hooping even though he was better at it than she was. Cathy was late for her timeslot, which upset Frank, and as a result, she was only allowed one minute. Frank's mom interrupts Mandy's time, due to her distrust of Mandy. In the end, Frank is most impressed by Felicia, Kerry, and Renee. After the date, the women have a party outside in the hot tub. Cathy becomes inebriated, which upsets Frank, as he doesn't want her to wake up his parents. Frank's mom discovers vodka in one of the water bottles, and accuses Mandy of placing it there. Later, she further implores Frank to eliminate Mandy. Rather than make Mandy suffer through elimination, Frank privately asks her to leave. At elimination, Cathy and Jessica are in the bottom two, and it is Jessica who is eliminated.

The Marescas are having a garage sale and wants his girls to sell items for money, whichever teams earns the most money wins the date with Frank. With a sluggish start, the yellow team had an idea giving massages for $10, but it irritates Mrs. Maresca. The Blue Team had also had an idea of drawing portraits from Annie. The garage sale ends and the Blue Team won the challenge, earning the most money. Frank took the winning team to a bar. The next day, Frank took Tammy and Christi to a cupcake shop. Frank felt he couldn't understand Tammy sometimes, but Christi gave the scoop about Renee spying on Frank. During elimination, Jenny and Tammy were at the Bottom 2, and ultimately Tammy was sent home.
