Friends with Benefits Episode 1.02 The Benefit of the Mute Button

Sara texts Ben, asking if she can come over, which Ben takes as a booty call. Sara shows up and finds Ben naked, holding cabbage over his privates; he feels a little ridiculous when he learns that she just wants to talk.

Sara confides in Ben that she's met an amazing doctor, Matt, who is definitely boyfriend material. She's worried that if she continues to have sex with Ben, she'll feel guilty about dating Matt. Ben agrees to put their setup on hold in the meantime.

Ben reveals that it's actually perfect timing; Colleen is coming in from Sydney tonight. Apparently, Colleen is a huge tease, but Ben argues that she lets him go a little bit further every time she visits. This time, he's convinced that it's definitely going to happen; they're going all the way.

Aaron hasn't been able to stop thinking about Riley since their heated one-night stand, while Riley is completely oblivious to his feelings. When he asks her out on a date, Riley misunderstands the invite and brings a guy with her. Aaron confronts her, and Riley apologizes, explaining that she misheard him. Listing her glaring flaws, she gets Aaron to really think if they would be a good fit together, and he admits that maybe they aren't meant to be.

Ben's date with the "Tease-manian Devil" is getting hot and heavy, until "world music" fanatic Colleen interrupts to play the bagpipes. It seems that Ben just can't get anywhere with this girl.

Meanwhile, Sara's date with Matt is going great. They end up in the bedroom and get busy. Sara thinks it went great, so she's alarmed when Matt throws on his clothes and gets out of there as fast as he can.

Later at the bar, Sara asks Ben where she went wrong. He admits to her that she's a little reserved sexually; she needs to be more expressive in the bedroom. Sara's clearly upset, but Ben's got his issues too; he's in a fight to the death with the Tease-manian Devil. Sara gives Ben a new strategy: come on strong, but then pull back. When Colleen gets worried that she's done something wrong, he should go in for the kill. The two part ways with their new strategies.

Ben's strategy seems to be going well; he ignores Colleen on their platonic date, which draws her in. But when Colleen says she has a great plan for next time she's in town, Ben loses his cool; it is always "next time" with this girl! He lets her know how he really feels - this is a hookup, they should be actually hooking up! Offended, Colleen says that she was going to suggest that they get a hotel room next time, but for now, they should just have crazy sex. Ben blew it.

Meanwhile, Sara overplays her passion and ends up terrifying Matt in the bedroom. He claims the reason he left the other night is he's nervous about dating; she's the first person he's slept with other than his wife in 15 years. Sara accidentally lets it slip that her friend Ben told her she was reserved in bed, explaining her behavior. Learning that Sara has sex with her friends, Matt asks for the same setup. When Sara denies him, Matt leaves for good.
