Without anywhere to go (since he'd been banished from several other papers), Jack decides to take one of his best friend Ronnie's idea seriously: take over the ""Ask Harriet"" column at the Dispatch.

Jack masquerades as Sylvia in hopes of getting a date with a jilted co-worker.

Jack's ex is back and he tries to hide all the goodies he's been buying with Sylvia's paycheck (because to Valerie he's still unemployed). They start fighting about her boyfriend and end up sleeping together. The next morning, Jack tries to resume their relationship (in order to save the alimony money), but Valerie finds one of Sylvia's dresses and threats to end it. Jack arranges for her to meet with Sylvia – a very risky move – and Valerie buys it! Unfortunately, the fire alarm goes off at the office, preventing Jack to go back to being a man.
