Since moving from New York City to Hollywood, Joey has found it difficult to meet new friends. Gina suggests that Joey and Michael host a party in their apartment and invite all of the residents from their building. Michael asks his competitive college friend Seth (recurring guest star SIMON HELBERG - "A Cinderella Story") to attend the party, thinking that he'll refuse--but Michael panics when Seth announces he will be bringing his girlfriend, and now Michael must conjure up a date of his own.
