Hello Todd, Hello Nancy, Goodbye Harley

Mike has his hands full with a new assistant minister, Todd Tucker, who counsels parishioners a bit too strictly by the Book for Mike's tastes. Also, a feisty, temporary-hire secretary with a lack of faith takes on the challenge of the church financial records. And if this weren't enough for any man, even a man of the cloth, to handle, Mike's pride and joy -- his vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle -- is stolen.

Finally, Stan lets Mike help him with his pain and turns to God for strength and forgiveness. The episode also sees Andy getting his comeuppance (Finally!) for all his cheeky remarks. After making repeated jokes at Captain Stan's expense, Stan picks up Andy and throws him on the couch. He then comes around and holds Andy's arms down as Mike comes in and proceeds to tickle Andy silly as Andy laughs and begs for mercy!
