Rhoda and Brenda are disappointed that Martin isn't feeling well enough to come to his 60th birthday party at Rhoda's apartment, until they learned that Martin moved out over 2 months ago.
Brenda insists that Rhoda accompany her when she meets her prospective in-laws for the first time, and Rhoda becomes an unexpected hit with Benny's big brother, leading unfortunately to one of the most harrowing dates of her life.
Martin returns from his ""fling"" in Florida ready for a reconciliation, but Ida insists on a second courtship before she's willing to forgive and forget.
Rhoda convinces her boss that he needs some new clothes to go with his new svelte physique, but both learn a valuable lesson that beauty is only skin deep.
No, it's not an alien from outer space. It's only Rhoda's date--who's managed to get his head stuck inside a silly-looking mask right before an awards dinner.
Benny's brother, Earl, generously offers to lend Jack the $5,000 he needs to get his company out of debt, but only because it means being able to spend a week with Rhoda on her job.
