Charlie thinks he’s found a savior in a new client named Goldie , who he hopes will put the family "back in the black". However, as with most of Charlie’s professional gambles, it’s clear that Goldie is more of a "head-case" than a sure thing, setting the stage for more Runkle-esque disasters in the episodes to come.

Meanwhile, the Runkles are facing their own brand of L.A. stress. Charlie and Marcy’s marital bliss is threatened by mounting money troubles .

The episode’s title isn’t just a clever pun; it refers to a literal—and highly uncomfortable—act of desperation by Levon. In an attempt to show Melanie what she’s "missing" after she rebuffs his advances, Levon resorts to indecent exposure.

In the fourth episode of the final season, titled “Dicks”, the show leans heavily into its signature blend of cringe-comedy and the complicated reality of co-parenting.
