During Season 5, one plot line of the show followed Faye, Gene's widow, as she tried online dating. She and Gene got married in the '60s and Todd has said on the show that his grandfather was the only man she ever dated. But that changes when she joins Christian Mingle in search of a new man.
When Todd finds out about his mom dating, he isn't happy about it. Faye did meet up with a guy from the dating site and Todd insists on being the chaperone. But he doesn't tell Faye about this. He just shows up at the date and sits down at the next table.
"I'm sure the guy that was there with my mom is a very nice gentleman. But, he's not my dad. My mother has never dated anyone in her entire life other than my dad," Todd said in a confessional on the show.

In one episode, Faye meets a guy when she's supposed to chaperone her granddaughter Savannah's date. But when Savannah sees what her grandmother is up to, she makes a comment that Faye and this mystery man are a little too close.
Faye has even been open about flirting with different guys who've appeared on the show. Although she's been on some dates, she doesn't believe anyone can compare to Gene. During one episode, she was looking through a dating site with her grandson Kyle. They both agreed that no one looked as good as Gene did and she said that she's never going to find another man like him.
