'Two And A Half Men': Zoey Has A Bad Reaction To Berta's Special Brownies (VIDEO)

While there'd been no mention of it in previous episodes, suddenly Walden was noticing that something was off about Zoey's enthusiasm during their sexual escapades on "Two and a Half Men" (Mon., 9 p.m. EST on CBS). Add to that the fact that she was still hiding him from her daughter, and he understandably was very concerned about what the problem was.

Suggestions at role-playing ended disastrously -- this is not something that comes naturally to Zoey at all -- but in a pot-brownie induced haze/munchie session, she revealed to Alan that her problem with physical intimacy came from her fear of emotionally intimacy. She also thought the authorities were after her and ran out of the house, so all in all it wasn't going well for her.

It's a fairly common issue with relationships where one party has kids. There's the relationship before the kid knows about it, which can still be somewhat light and free. But when the child is brought into the situation, everything changes. Suddenly her daughter's feelings are affected by Mommy's relationship.

Luckily, when Zoey's ex-husband was at her house unexpectedly with their daughter when Zoey brought Walden there, that awkward first meeting just kind of happened. And as it happened, Walden is great with kids -- probably stemming from his own childlike behavior. The kid took to him right away, declaring him her loyal subject, and he to her as well. That hurdle surpassed, the intimacy issues were suddenly no longer an issue at all.

"Two and a Half Men" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
