Alan learns that Charlie belongs to an exclusive men's group, and he begs his brother to let him join. When Charlie doesn't, Alan tries to contact his old friends, but discovers that Judith befriended them and turned almost all of them against him. Eventually, Charlie lets Alan in to his group, but Alan begins to irritate everyone and ends up getting himself tied to a streetlamp. Guest stars Elvis Costello, Sean Penn, Bobby Cooper and Harry Dean Stanton as themselves, who are part of Charlie's exclusive group.
Judith is dating Jake's pediatrician, Greg (Ryan Stiles), and Alan is upset at the thought of Judith being with another man – until Charlie points out that if she remarries, his alimony payments will end, so Alan attempts to befriend him. While giving Greg a massage, Judith walks in on them, and Alan snaps Greg's neck accidentally in panic – causing him to pay more money than he had to in the first place.
