Episode Summary
When Mindy decides to have a night out by herself in the city, she hits it off with a stunningly handsome man who turns out to be a prostitute. Horrified, Mindy tries to avoid him until she realizes she needs a date for Danny and Alex's dinner party, so she gives him a makeover a la "Pretty Woman".
