Bobby Jr. catches his dad, who's decked out like St. Nick, in a kiss with Tia---and comes away believing his dad is the real Santa. Also, Tia's relationship with her visiting dad becomes strained.

Although Tia wants to have their wedding on the beach or on a mountaintop, Robert is convinced that she really wants an expensive shindig. So, to make extra money to pay for it, he appears in a TV commercial for a car dealership. Meanwhile, Bobby gives a girl he likes Neesee's old engagement ring.

Robert doesn't realize he has completely forgotten Tia's birthday until Neesee and Bobby arrive with a present, so he enlists Neesee's help to cater and pull together a party that's a surprise for everyone involved. Sure that Robert hasn't forgotten her birthday, Tia anticipates his surprise, but certainly doesn't expect getting stuck in the car while Robert reports on a stuntman-union strike.

Neesee is furious when she finds out that Robert has taught their son to box. Meanwhile, Alex tries a few moves on her trainer, and Tia learns that Jonelle hasn't been paying her rent.

While putting together a slide show, Dee Dee discovers that there are very few photographs of Mona with their father. She feels sorry for her sister and makes several attempts to cheer her up (first creating fake photos of the two, then trying to set up a lunch date for Mona and Charles), but only angers her further.

Phyllis produces evidence that proves Charles wasn't quite as distant as it seems. Spencer develops an attraction to Camille, a photographer working with Delicious Records artists. Adam constantly tries to alert Mona about Spencer's feelings for her. He finally tells her the truth, but they discover that Spencer is involved with Camille. Meanwhile, Dee Dee becomes annoyed when her "summer fling" starts to get a little too attached to her. She soon discovers that the fling may have serious consequences.

She is startled, but she and Charles quickly accept the news. Big Dee Dee gets to rub her pregnancy in the face of Phyllis, who had believed Big Dee Dee was going through menopause. Mona is upset to realize that Spencer has been seeing Camille for some time, but hadn't confided in her. He claims that he wanted to keep quiet until he knew the relationship could last. Phyllis chastises Mona for letting "her" man get away, while Adam refuses to believe that Spencer is over Mona. He insists that he is happy with Camille, adding that Mona would never want him anyway.
