Carla's a little depressed. No one has answered her personal ad, in which she was totally honest, including about the size of her family. To boost her self-confidence which they figure will ultimately attract men, the guys at the bar decide to create a fictional respondent - Mitch Wainwright, airline pilot - obviously who will always make excuses for not being able to meet. Diane disapproves as she sees no good coming out of a lie, especially when it comes time for Carla and Mitch to meet. But Carla is ultimately enchanted by Mitch, so enchanted that she waits for a date with Mitch to the exclusion of all others, including Vinnie Clausen, a real person who has answered her ad. Vinnie is no Mitch, but he's a real person. Vinnie stops by the bar and Carla doesn't give him the time of day, until Sam tells Carla the truth about Mitch. Although still smarting from the realization that Mitch was not real, she does decide to give Vinnie a chance. Meanwhile, Diane is taking a mime class and brings the resident mime, Sotto, into the bar to entertain the patrons. Sam hates mimes and apparently so does everyone else except Diane, that is until Sotto is ready to leave at the end of the night.
