Episode Guide
This is a spoiler section, so if you haven't watched the show (and plan too), DO NOT read any further.

episode 13
aired 2/04/04

synopsis: Nick decides on getting 2 arcade machines, managing to get Drew to help him move it in...despite Drew saying his doctor said it was a bad idea to do heavy lifting. A forklift is called into action, as a smarter method is used to move heavy items onto the second floor of the house through the balcony.

Meanwhile, Jessica is on a shopping spree, managing to rack up a $2915 bill. And that includes $1400 [Egyption] sheets. Needless to say, Nick is royally pissed that she bought sheets that are so expensive, even if they sleep on it every night.

What's up with all the focus on random animals? First it's a dog in a shop with Jessica. And then it's a flock of crows flying around the outside of the house. Talk about empty time fillers.

"Carnival King" was one of the arcade games, and they spent a few minutes of the episode playing it. After two rounds of shooting at the game screen, Nick has an accuracy rating of 40% while Jessica rates 9%.

At the end of the episode, those random birds finally make sense. There's a couple dead birds around the house (which have to make you wonder why?). Plus a few dead mice in the pool...now that's not a surprise.

Anyways, all in all, it was a more sedate Newlyweds episode, without any big surprises.
