Season 2 - Episode Guide

Becker saves a woman from choking and then fears for his life when he takes her continual gratitude for stalking.

Becker is grumpier than usual after he decides to quit smoking, but he gets a lift from Reggie's friend, an ex-smoker who tells him the only substitute that worked for her was sex.

Reggie tells Becker he doesn't know anything about women, but unbeknownst to her, Becker is giving dating tips to her new beau. Meanwhile, Linda becomes a big sister to an obnoxious teen.
