Overview

Lowell's innocent birthday gift to Casey lands him a show at an art museum when Casey shows off the gift to a museum director. Determined to launch both their careers in the art world, Casey relentlessly pushes Lowell's artistic abilities to the limit to try and meet the show's deadline, but eventually gives up after discovering how stressed Lowell becomes. Meanwhile, Brian's efforts to finish a roll of film for Joe and Helen are not appreciated, as the prank ends up in the hands of Helen's parents.
