Downhill
Ski-Don't - D & D hit the slopes of Mammoth with Drew and DrewWife. Snowboarding goes fine, aside from Jessica's falling down and constantly complaining, which seems to accompany any activity, snowbound or otherwise. But when Nick tries to ski, he throws a tantrum worthy of his wife. The only difference: when he throws a hissyfit, he's the one who has then to try to make her feel better about it. |

Nick and Jessica's "World" "Tour"
Take My Breath Away - The lie on which reality television is built is the notion that watching extraordinary people -- the rich, the famous, the disproportionately stupid -- do ordinary things is endlessly fascinating. Here, we get Nick and Jessica selecting and recording tracks for their duets album, going on tour, and just generally standing near each other being annoying; separate but together. |

Scott Foley, Make Room
Nick-el Back - It's all about Jessica, as Creepy Pa Simpson/MTV's campaign to remind Nick who the real star is kicks into high gear as Jessica gets all the lines in a VH1 sketch. Then Nick has to endure a cold, lame Thanksgiving day parade in Detroit, during which everyone asks only where Jessica is. And to top it off, he gets cut out of a commercial that was supposed to star the two of them. The countdown to divorce ticks on. |

Blung
Kept Man - Jessica does a whirlwind world tour.of New York and Dallas, leaving Nick and Drew home to stand around being made to look bored and pointless by the whims of the Crack MTV Editing Squad, or "The Mole People," as they're sometimes known due to their aversion to sunlight and love of "wipe" jokes. Nick turns 30, and Jessica celebrates by dancing in front of all their friends in her panties, ordering him a cake shaped as a bottle of beer, and giving him a pimp watch worth more than her implants. |
