After dumping her latest suitor who threatens to jump from a tall building for rejecting his love, Cassie starts dating a rich Venezuelan playboy named Ricardo.  In order to impress him, Cassie has Chef Mario prepare a romantic dinner for two at Cassie's apartment (the girls arrive early at Cassie's place to help set up the dining table and the meal, which happens to be "Chicken Mario").  Days later, Ricardo takes Cassie to work at Above The Top where she introduces him to the girls.  After he leaves, Cassie tells her coworkers that despite having a great time with him, she's going to dump him, which stuns the girls completely.  At the waitress lounge behind the kitchen, she explains to Lois, Jan, Vicky, and Dot that she has a personal rule never to date any man she happens to fall in love with, yet, she has been thinking a lot about Ricardo lately, especially when they are apart.  Seeing how deeply in love she has become, Lois and Jan tell her to pursue the relationship anyway and that what she and Ricardo have is quite special.  Cassie agrees to follow Lois and Jan's advice and things go well for her until Ricardo arrives at Above The Top one night during dinner service to tell Cassie that their romance is over because he is going back to Venezuela, which breaks Cassie's heart.
