The sixth season of Two and a Half Men began September 22, 2008 and concluded on May 18, 2009.
Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend, Chrissy (Rena Sofer), and she has a son named Chuck who looks, dresses and acts disturbingly like Charlie. Alan takes great pleasure making fun of the situation. Charlie learns that condoms are only 98% effective and, thinking that Chuck is his son, he pays Chrissy a large lump sum and promises to send her a check every month, for Chuck's maintenance. Just after Charlie leaves Chrissy's apartment, it is revealed that she is actually only Chuck's (who's real name actually is Jeremy) babysitter.
Alan lends Charlie $38, which Charlie has no interest in repaying. Alan seeks revenge to get the money back, and pumps out gas from Charlie's Mercedes to his own, but still claims Charlie owes him $24.78 as there wasn't enough petrol in the tank to amortize the full $38. Charlie accuses Alan of being cheap, ends up angrily throwing him out of the house, so Alan and Jake temporarily stay with a friendly Herb and angry Judith. But after Herb bonds with Charlie and Alan crosses a line with Judith, she takes measures to reset the situation, forcing Alan to apologize to Charlie and forcing Charlie to take him back. However, after she and Herb leave, Charlie, refusing to take Alan back in, locks him out of the house. Meanwhile, Evelyn offers Jake his first job.
Charlie seeks to broaden his horizons and improve his sex life by taking up cooking, but his focus on egg recipes has an unexpected result. Alan and Jake try to emulate Charlie's lifestyle: Alan by dating two women at once, and Jake by getting drunk, but they find out the hard way that Charlie's way of life is not for them. Jake ends up vomiting violently, with Charlie at his side. Alan's first date finds out he has another woman, because of his inability to lie convincingly, and when he tries the 'honesty is the best policy' approach with the other woman, he ends up getting tazered.
While Alan's car is in the shop, Charlie grudgingly drives Alan to work, but he cheers up when he meets Alan's receptionist, Melissa (Kelly Stables). Alan begs Charlie not to make a move on her, because she is very good at her job and for a low wage, and Alan is convinced that it would end badly for himself. Of course, that merely spurs Charlie on. Alan's misgivings prove correct when Charlie breaks up with Melissa after they have spent a long weekend together, mostly in Charlie's bed. Melissa is so angry, and so dangerous, as she drives them to work, that Alan feels he has to give into her demands for a raise, health insurance and a paid vacation.
