Bored to Death
Jonathan Ames, a young Brooklyn writer, is feeling lost. He's just gone through a painful break-up, thanks in part to his drinking, can't write his second novel, and carouses too much with his magazine editor. Rather than face reality, Jonathan turns instead to his fantasies moonlighting as a private detective because he wants to be a hero and a man of action.
Taking time out from his new gig as a night-school fiction-writing teacher, Jonathan is hired by a mounted policeman. Meanwhile, George is flummoxed to learn that his new publisher plans to cut costs on every front, and Ray fails a yoga test with Leah, putting their relationship in final jeopardy.
Jonathan is hired by Richard Antrem, George's nemesis and boxing foe, to investigate Richard's suspicions that his wife Priscilla, who is also George's ex, is having an affair. Jonathan's insecurities resurface when Stella announces she's not over her first love. George learns he has a new female urologist.
George worries about remaining "intact" after getting some sobering news from Dr. Kenwood, his new urologist. A bad day for Jonathan gets worse when a pair of S&M henchmen kidnap him, demanding a ransom that calls "GI" George and Ray to action.
A professor hires Jonathan to track down a valuable item. George finds an alibi to explain the results of his drug test. Flushed with cash from his "Super Ray" comic book, Ray heads to the bar - and meets a familiar barfly.
Jonathan attempts to repair the relationship between a poet/limousine driver and his wife. Ray has a meeting with Kevin Bacon.
Leah hires Jonathan to help find her new dog, "Little Ray." Ray joins Jonathan in the search for the dog, getting some inside help from a local woman. A reflective George heads to the hospital for surgery.
A dermatologist enlists Jonathan to deliver a letter to his intended at an Asian health spa. Jonathan takes Ray to the spa for his birthday, with George and his new chauffeur Vikram in tow.
With the help of Officer Drake, Ray and Jonathan piece together leads to track down the mad stalker who imperils Ray on the eve of the Brooklyn Comic Con. George decides to make a stand at work. Jonathan has another battle with nemesis Louis Greene.
