    undefined Season 1 Episode 9 - Musso & Frank
    9.0/10(1 votes)

    S1:E9

    Parker constantly takes advantage of situations where he (or his buddies) can benefit. When Frank Lemmer finds himself stuck between a rock and a hard place, he turns to Parker. As Musso tries to hook Lemmer up with her 'unsuitable' (in Frank's opinion) niece, Lemmer cuts a deal with Parker for a more suitable date. As Jerry needs help for an upcoming test that Lemmer can help with, the deal seems simple enough. Naturally, this simple task for Parker hits a series of snags... and Parker only worsens the situation.
