When Alex Forman, a long-time patient and friend of Mark's, hangs himself, Mark suspects foul play. Alex and two other apparent suicides were customers of the same dating service Perfect Couples, an amazing coincidence. In fact, the police computer said that the odds against it were 64 million to one. What Mark and the others couldn't figure out was how one makes someone hang himself without leaving bruises on the body or drugs showing up in the autopsy. Amanda and Mark send Jack to join Perfect Couples to investigate. When Jack gets there to apply for membership, the flirtatious receptionist, Fawn (Rebecca Chambers), all but asks him out. Jack needs to write a biography, and Amanda and Dolores write it for him. Amanda delivers it to Perfect Couples on her way home, so Jack doesn't see it. They say to Mark that they had always wanted to create Mr. Right. The bio is so effective that 62 women try to date Jack on the first day. Among other things, the bio says that Jack takes 2-hour bubble baths (with his dates) and drinks Armagnac (brandy). Jack is mobbed by women everywhere he goes and says he feels like a Beatle. Renée Coleman stars as Gloria, a beautiful, flirtatious patron of Perfect Couples, whom Jack dates because she dated all three of the "suicides", making her a suspect. Her violently jealous ex-husband, recently released from prison, becomes another suspect, after he attacks Jack.
