Short summary

Herb and his wife Lucille are getting a divorce, the first night after the decision Herb resorting to sleeping on the couch in the office. Herb may or may not be aware that Lucille's want for the divorce is because she thinks he takes her for granted as a woman. The divorce has an effect on everyone in the office. Herb needs a temporary place to stay until he gets his own place, with none of the guys, except Les, really wanting Herb, with Les out of the question solely because of the size of his apartment. And now that Herb is a "free" man, Jennifer feels more exposed, he who she could handle when she knew his talk was all bluster. He envisions his life now as a wild and crazy single, going out and partying all the time. While Jennifer works on Lucille, the guys try to show Herb without being obvious that he'd much rather be back at home with his family than all alone as a single.

The running gag of men sending Jennifer drinks is based on a real life incident when Hugh Wilson went to a bar with Loni Anderson
