Still Using

"Still Using" is the second episode of the fourth season and the 70th episode of the series overall.

Plot
When Lauren takes advantage of Chris, the son of the Millers' lesbian next-door neighbors, Judy intervenes and warns Chris that he is being used and that he needs someone more mature to teach her a lesson. Bill discovers that Chris has a talent for contracting and that he has a crush on Judy, convincing her to continue flirting with him in order to keep him coming there to fix things. The pair are busted, however, by the parents when they walk in on her in a satin top and short shorts and it is revealed that Chris never had a crush on Judy but was using her to make Lauren jealous. Chris also says that he enjoyed hanging out with the Millers' because they allowed him to work with his hands rather than being forced to do artistic talents like his parents.

In a secondary plot, Tina designs a Rube Goldberg-style machine called "The Answer Man" which answers Yes or No questions at random for a school project. Linda becomes obsessed with the machine and makes life choices off of it and ultimately gets fired from her job. She shows up at Tina's school and asks her to use the machine to tell her if she should get her job back but Tina shuts the blinds on her.
