"When Joseph Met Lori, and Made Out with Her in the Janitor's Closet" is the 22nd episode of the 13th season of King of the Hill, and the 257th episode overall.

Summary[]

Dale commits himself to the mental hospital for refusing to talk to Joseph about sex and girls after Joseph begins dating a girl who immediately wants her relationship with him to be physical. Meanwhile, Nancy competes with the other reporters at the news station over who can find the best human interest story.

Plot[]

After getting into an argument with Joseph about the girl he has been dating, Dale is unable to remember things. He thinks he has dementia, so he signs himself into a mental health center. Hank and his other friends try to get him to leave, but the owner, Mike Patel, tries to force Dale to stay. He ends up getting out by acting crazier but ends up getting committed to the state mental hospital.

Nancy is jealous of Miguel Hernandez's success with the To Catch a Bully series, so she does a newscast featuring her husband about Dementia Awareness.
