Sharkey is angry at the men over their monthly class reports, and how it will look on him to the captain. Natalie phones Sharkey, angry that he forgot her birthday and that he never says he loves her. Sharkey simply can't bring himself to do it. Robinson feels he takes Natalie for granted and needs a "guinea pig" to practice treating nice. He suggests Gypsy Koch, and Sharkey is intrigued enough to pursue it. Sharkey goes to Gypsy's place for a date. When he tells her his true reasons she throws Sharkey out. Sharkey stays hard on his men, leaving Robinson to conclude he simply can't be nice. He suggests Sharkey go to a sensitivity class where he comically struggles with group talk.
