Still Losin' It

Brian is back from his summer-abroad program in Italy; while there he met a girl named Monica and he says he's fallen in love with her. Bill and Judy try to tell Brian that long-distance relationships don't work and that he should meet a girl here. Brian finds out that Monica can come to Chicago and asks his parents for the money to fly her in. When they say they can't afford that, he says he'll used the money he would have used for homecoming, and Bill repeats that Brian should meet a Chicago gal. Brian says that he lost his virginity to Monica and that it was something special. She also says he was her first time. Bill is pleased that this happened and he agrees that they should spend the money to get her here. Judy, still opposed to this, ends up agreeing to it when Bill tells her what happened and they both agree that they should wire her the money. While Bill and Brian hang out at a cigar bar, Bill finds out from Noom that Monica is a scam artist: his son Jeremy lost his virginity to her and Bill starts hearing the same exact story Brian told him. Noom said Jeremy wired the money to her so she could see him; in the end he was out $600 and she broke his son's heart. When Judy looked into it through the program's coordinator, she found out that in Italy, Monica is a local girl who likes to prey on rich-looking American guys. Bill thinks they should tell Brian the truth, but Judy is opposed to it because it will ruin his memories of his first time, which could screw up his outlook on women. In the end, Bill decides how to handle the situation. Meanwhile, Perry is back in town and while he and Linda are making love, Perry suffers a concussion when he hits his head on the headboard, many times, and is unable to travel back to Reno until the concussion clears up. When Perry is doing better, Linda keeps giving him more concussions so he cannot leave.
