‘Two and a Half Men’ season 10, episode 12 preview: Alan the rich ‘idiot’ (video)

While there may not be too much coming on this week when it comes to new programming, we do nonetheless have some great news: “Two and a Half Men” season 10 will be returning to CBS on Thursday night! While we have frequently bashed the show for an assortment of things ever since the departure of Charlie Sheen, there is still one major positive worth pointing out here as of late: the storyline regarding Kate as a new love interest for Ashton Kutcher’s Walden. This has given him and the show an opportunity to take on something new, and that is the issue of money, and how far someone will go in order to try and make themselves anonymous for the purpose of trying new love.

So as the new promo for Thursday night’s new episode points out, our new modern-day Joe Millionaire is going to go so far in his quest to try and find something real that he hires Alan to actually perpetuate a lie: that he is a poor guy named Sam, and he is going to turn to Alan’s Scrooge McDuck sort of character in order to help Kate launch her career as a fashion designer.

So how will this go? Based on the fact that we know Kate will be hosting a runway show in New York very soon, the answer here is “very well.” However, what we do not know the answer to at the moment is just how long Walden will be able to keep the truth from her. If he ends up telling Kate the truth, she may not appreciate anything that has been given to her; as a matter of fact, she could go as far as to say that she would rather have a life as a poor person rather than be with someone who made up an entire story about their life in order to win her over.
