Episode Summary

After Opie arrives home looking rough from playing with a friend, Andy tends to his injuries, sparking a conversation about Opie's involvement in a playground scuffle. Meanwhile, Barney, concerned about Andy's single status, orchestrates an elaborate scheme to introduce him to potential partners by inviting several women over, under the pretense of a gathering organized by Thelma Lou. The plan, however, backfires, leading to confusion and Andy's clear disinterest in being set up. Amid these comedic misunderstandings, Andy expresses a genuine interest in pursuing a relationship with Opie's teacher, Helen Crump, despite Barney's clumsy attempts at matchmaking and his initial objections based on Helen's cooking abilities. Barney's meddling ultimately leads to an apology, recognizing Andy's autonomy in his personal life, particularly his blossoming interest in Miss Crump.
