"Joey and the Party" is the third episode of the first season of Joey, which aired on NBC on September 23, 2004.


Plot[]

Joey feels lonely without his Manhattan friends, even sweet, devoted cousin-roommate Michael is just too nerdy, so he decides to throw a party to get to know the neighbors, but particularly cool Jake (Geoff Stultz). Alas a hunk like Jake is just irresistible for Gina, and she's hard to beat at pleasing men- still, Jake has better taste, but that kind of man is not to family-man Joey's taste, so he ends up giving nerdy accountant Howard a chance, boring but adoring. Michael, supposedly the party's co-host, panics when his 'friendly' academical rival Seth announces to bring an actual date, Molly, leaving Michael the last of the virginal Mohicans, so he desperately needs a foxy (fake) date, yet not badly enough to accept ma Gina, but he jumps at Alex's offer; she does a great job, and they soon work out Molly is even more fake, but why?
