Spike, Robbie's mentor.
Robbie hires Spike, a rebellious classmate, to teach him how to pick-up Caroline Foxworth, a girl who he has a brutal crush on. But Spike's unique advice gets Robbie grounded; a situation that Robbie finds not nearly as unbearable as the discovery that Spike, having refined his flirtatious technique, is dating the girl of Robbie's dreams.

Seen on TV[]
- A sock-puppet show which Earl and Baby watch and enjoy, but Fran refuses to watch, stating the show is for kids. Earl remarks that while the puppets give the show a children's aesthetic, "the dialogue is sharp-edged, witty, and dramatically skewed towards adults" while looking into the camera (ie. "breaking the fourth wall"). This is meant as a joke, describing the nature of Dinosaurs. A similar conversation would occur again in The Last Temptation of Ethyl, with Earl once again remarking on its adult appeal while Fran remains convinced it's for kids.
- Love Confession
