 After Carlisle passes away alone in his apartment and isn t discovered until after a week, loner geek Fred decides that he should get out more before he befalls the same fate as Carlisle. He tries speed dating, but to no avail. But then he attaches himself emotionally to Carol Goldstein, a self-professed forty-five year old constantly horny woman who has moved into Carlisle s suite. Carol wants to get to know her neighbours, but soon finds out that perhaps her initial friendliness with all the tenants was not a good idea as Fred will not take her subtle hints to leave her alone. Finally she tells him directly to get lost as he and she really aren t even compatible as friends. This perhaps was the impetus he needed to meet the person best suited to him. He meets Alicia, who was probably Carlisle s closest friend in the building and who had been leaving memorials for Carlisle at Carol s apartment door. Computer assistance for Alicia and a common love for the original Battlestar Gallactica is the start of Fred s first true friendship in the building.
