Episode Synopsis
It’s Jill’s birthday, and Tim has forgotten. Not only that, but he has an awful track record when it comes to getting her gifts. This year, she pleas for him to get her something that she doesn’t have to plug in. (This comes back to bite her in the ass after the boys get her a repugnant perfume, and a lot of it.) After a few failed attempts, and some advice from Wilson, Tim finally searches his heart and finds her the perfect gift.
On “Tool Time,” Tim inadvertantly backs a pickup truck into a house that they’re in the process of remodeling. Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan) steal Mark’s (Taran Noah Smith) money to buy Jill a bottle of pungent perfume called “Treasure Island.”
