Robert James, an entertainment reporter for a local Los Angeles television station, is handsome, smart and thoroughly modern in his thinking, considering his romantic and familial entanglements.

Robert gets upset with Neesee when he learns from Bobby that Neesee is dating a new man--her handsome dentist Marcus. Robert insists that he meet any man who's going to be involved in his son's life.

Tia resists Robert's attempts at being affectionate, and the two end up trying to resolve their dilemma at Dirk and Jonelle's wedding, which is presided over by their offbeat friend Turtle.

Tia finds that she cannot escape Robert's ex-wife, Neesee--even in her own workplace--when Neesee volunteers to be the school's newest kindergarten "room mom."

When the station does a profile on Robert's home life, he insists that both his fiancée, Tia, and his ex-wife, Neesee, be included. But Neesee is edited out of the version that airs.

When Jonelle bans him from their home, Dirk sleeps on Robert and Tia's couch, drawing Robert and Tia into their best friends' breakup.
