This is an episode that probably couldn’t be made nowadays. Alex’s date basically won’t take no for an answer when it comes to her sexual advances, but instead of it being a bit creepy, it’s funny and sexy because it’s a woman doing it to a man instead of the reverse. But what’s weird about it is that Alex isn’t upset because he actually doesn’t want to be with her, but because he is worried that her lack of shyness makes her an immoral person.

The timing also makes no sense. Their date doesn’t start until 8 PM. They go play bingo and then go to a immigration citizenship ceremony. After that, it has to be at least 10 PM when they show up to a kid-themed restaurant that’s packed full of people. Then, after she bails on their date, and they both end up back home, and the father is staying up late to make sure Mallory gets home from her date, Alex claims “it’s still early” as he asks her to go out on a second date of the night.
