GREG LIES TO KIM ABOUT A DEATH IN THE FAMILY TO GET OUT OF A CHURCH RETREAT, ON "YES, DEAR," MONDAY, FEB. 16

"Dead Aunt, Dead Aunt..." -- Greg uses a fictional dead aunt to get out of a church retreat with Kim, on YES, DEAR, Monday, Feb. 16 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. John Tracy directed the episode written by Lindsey Garcia from a teleplay by Gregory Thomas Garcia, one of the series' executive producers.

While away with Kim at a marriage encounter weekend sponsored by their church, Greg gets a call at home from his cousin that his Great Aunt Claire is on her deathbed. Jimmy and Christine head up to the retreat to break the bad news to Greg, who reveals to Jimmy that he doesn't have a Great Aunt Claire. But when Greg uses this as an excuse to leave the retreat weekend, Jimmy pressures Greg to go and visit his "aunt" in order to offset the bad karma Greg is gambling with by lying and leaving a church function.

GREG AND JIMMY PARTICIPATE IN A PRISONER MENTORING PROGRAM, ON "YES, DEAR," MONDAY, FEB. 23

Country Superstars Trace Adkins and Travis Tritt Guest Star

"Greg and Jimmy's Criminals" -- When the studio participates in a work release program with the local prison, Mr. Savitsky recruits a reluctant Greg as a mentor, on YES, DEAR, Monday, Feb. 23 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Jeff Meyer directed the episode written by Jamie Rhonheimer and Patrick McCarthy.

Country superstars Trace Adkins and Travis Tritt play criminals Curtis and Hank, who are part of the mentoring program designed to integrate soon-to-be-released prisoners back into a working environment.

A very unenthusiastic Greg agrees to let a prisoner, Hank (Tritt), shadow him at work for a few weeks when the studio participates in a work release program with a local prison. Jimmy accuses Greg of snobbery after a day of unproductive mentoring and volunteers to take Hank. When Jimmy and Hank hit it off, Greg is determined to prove Jimmy wrong and gets his own prisoner, Curtis (Adkins), to mentor. When things go unexpectedly well, Greg and Jimmy treat their wards to a meal off the studio lot and discover Hank and Curtis are not as rehabilitated as they thought when the prisoners rob a convenience store on their watch.
