Malcolm & Eddie - Season 1 Episode 21

Following their first semi-annual employees meeting, Malcolm and Eddie take everyone on a company picnic and retreat. Shortly after arriving at their campsite, Eddie suggests pooling their profits to buy a new tow truck, but Malcolm has other ideas as to how to spend his money. Then, as tension between the partners grows, Nicolette arrives unannounced after making the 200 mile trip on her motor scooter. While continues to press Malcolm about the tow truck, Holly's attempts to intervene fail to keep an argument from bringing the retreat to a hasty end. However, when their van breaks down and leaves everyone stranded, Nicolette and Eddie take her scooter to find some help…only to run out of gas. As he and Nicolette seek refuge in a nearby cave, Eddie blames Malcolm for all that's gone wrong. And as Malcolm and the others await their rescue, he places the blame for the entire mess squarely on Eddie's shoulders. Scared by a bat into sharing her sleeping bag, Eddie is surprised by the resulting amorous activity with Nicolette. And once Tim heads off to forage for food, Malcolm and Holly agree to sleep together, but promise not to try anything. So, as Holly and Malcolm wake following a sound night's sleep, Eddie begs Nicolette not to tell anyone what happened between them. Upon returning to the campsite, Eddie tries to keep news of his affair with Nicolette a secret. But, as he and Eddie resolve their differences over the new tow truck, Malcolm's refusal to discuss his evening with Holly creates entirely the wrong impression. Finally, as Malcolm and Holly return home to set some ground rules for their new romance, Eddie can't keep himself from seeing Nicolette again.
