"May The Best Man Win" [0050]
Even though Ed's (Tom Cavanagh) romantic rival Dennis (John Slattery) doesn't want him at his wedding, he sarcastically asks the bowling alley lawyer to be his best man -- so Ed responds by arranging a blowout bachelor party, complete with strippers, just to embarrass the groom. Meanwhile, Ed is visited by the free-spirited Jennifer (special guest star Kelly Ripa ), his former romantic partner who breezes back into his life and asks for legal help to prevent eviction from her apartment. In addition, Nancy (Jana Marie Hupp) and Molly (Lesley Boone) steal into Carol's (Julie Bowen) house to swipe some embarrassing pictures for a video presentation of her life.

"Trapped" [0052]
Weary of hearing Ed (Tom Cavanagh) and Carol (Julie Bowen) talk incessantly about each other, Mike (Josh Randall) and their other friends decide to lock up and isolate the potential lovebirds for the night -- or longer -- in Stuckeybowl until they agree to formulate new ground rules for their rollercoaster relationship. In the meantime, Mike lamely tries to entertain Nancy (JanaMarie Hupp) and Molly (Lesley Boone) while Phil (Michael Ian Black) challenges Eli (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell) to a game of Scrabble whose outcome could force Eli to summon enough courage to ask out a local woman for a date. Rachel Cronin also stars. Kelly Ripa guest stars as Jennifer.
