This gives Ryan a good chance to bond with his uptight sister and convince her that he&#8217;s not a total screw-up after all. Of course, Wilfred is having none of it. He lays on a thick guilt trip by implying to Ryan that the manager of the day care (Helms) has been molesting him.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan doesn&#8217;t believe the story at first. He&#8217;s caught on that Wilfred lies to get his way. But because he&#8217;s essentially a dope, Ryan keeps fantasizing about all the awful things happening to Wilfred. He eventually drops his sister and races to the day care (wearing a cape, no less) to rescue the dog from such awful depravity. Wilfred also makes him steal a giant one-eyed teddy bear that he&#8217;s grown attached to. Because why not?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a simple but hilariously effective premise, and the episode runs with it. We never really know the truth about Helms&#8217; character, though I&#8217;m sure that he&#8217;s probably a perfectly nice, normal guy.<\/p>\n<p>About the only thing that might qualify as a side story is a running gag where Wilfred keeps rubbing his butt on everything, and Ryan tries to condition him against this behavior with a squirt gun. Any pet owner out there will relate to that.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Helms made a guest spot on last week&#8217;s episode of &#8216;Wilfred&#8217; to play a doggie molester.
