Nick tells Mona that his parents are coming to town for the weekend, and that he would like her to meet them. Mona is very nervous, as she has never met the parents of any of her boyfriends. Nick's parents are decidedly less than thrilled by the fact that their son is dating another black woman. Mona cannot understand why they dislike her, and asks Dee Dee to help win them over. Dee Dee suspects that they are racist, and they overhear the couple making remarks that prove this. Dee Dee recommends that Mona discuss the situation with Nick. However, before she can bring up the subject, Nick proposes. Mona immediately accepts. Phyllis, Dee Dee and a jealous Spencer pretend to be happy for her, but are actually worried. Dee Dee tells Mona that she cannot just ignore the attitude of Nick's parents. Mona admits that she got caught up in the moment and isn't ready to marry Nick.
