Victor tries to give Lisa a romantic engagement she will never forget. Tia and Tamera bake a batch of cupcakes that Jordan and Tyreke sell at the college. But one of the cupcakes has Lisa's engagement ring in it.

Oh!

Hey, sweetie.

So, how's the cake coming

for the gamma psi bake sale?

You tell me.

Ooh, chocolate cake.

You want a slice?

I don't think so.

Good... more money

for the brothers.

Honey, um...



Word to the brothers.

- Don't try and
- sell that cake.

Ah, come on, guys.

- I did pretty good
- for a guy with a spoon

A hot plate and a hair dryer.

Jordan, you have eyes, right?

Would you eat this?

It's a work in progress.

Everyone knows a cake

is about the frosting.

Good news, dog.

I got the frosting.

It was pudding day

at the cafeteria.



Look, don't worry, okay?

- Thanks to us, you
- are going to have

- The best cake
- at that bake sale.

Oh, thank you

so much, sweetie.

We owe you big-time.

Our pleasure. Bye.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm speechless.

Thank you so much.

Ooh, dog!

Did we work that?!

Listen, they had no idea

- that that cake is
- really brown play-doh.

- And that pudding
- was the perfect touch.

We played them like...

- Sega!
- Sega!

Oh, and when you pick up

your cake, bring your toolbox.

Why?

- Well, because the shelves
- need to be put up

- The kitchen sink
- is leaking

- And the miata needs
- an oil change.

- Sega!
- Sega!

♪ I do my own style

in my own time ♪

♪ and now

everybody sees ♪

♪ how different

we have come to be ♪

♪ even though I'm glad

to be with you ♪

- ♪ I got to feel
- what's real for me ♪

♪ Like you got to do

what's right for you ♪

Oh, this is the new club.

Oh, boy.

Ray Campbell approaches the tee.

He is one stroke

behind Tiger Woods.

Par, birdie, par, par, birdie.

That new club will probably

out-drive tiger.

Hey, man.

Hey.

Ready for 18 holes

of humiliation?

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

You know, I got

this new club and, uh...

You okay?

I have decided to get married

- and I was wondering if you...
- If you could...

You want me to tell Lisa

you found somebody else?

Ray, Lisa is the woman

I want to marry.

Who's getting married?

See what happens when

you mention matrimony

in a house full of women?

I'm going to ask your mom

to marry me.

- That is, if it's
- all right with you.

Well... of course

it's all right with me.

I-i-I've never seen

my mom so happy.

Oh, my gosh!

Welcome to the family.

Congratulations, Vic.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for all of us.

Thanks, thanks.

And, ray, I was hoping

you'd do me the honor

of being my best man.

- I been with Lisa
- for the last six years.

- I'm more than just
- the best man.

What you mean?

Oh, nothing.

Let's play golf.

How you going to ask her?

Well, I thought I'd say

something like...

"Lisa, you know

how I feel about you."

Oh...

"So let's do this."

And then give her the ring.

That's it?

This is my mother's

first wedding.

Okay?

So, the proposal has got

to be wildly romantic.

Yeah, lots of flowers,

you know, down on one knee.

- Yeah, big, flashy romantic...
- Let's golf.

- My mother's
- too smart for that.

- I mean, she'd
- catch on immediately

- And you'd lose
- the element of surprise.

No, that ain't good.

I say take her

to a nice, quiet dinner

and then bring her

back here for coffee.

Coffee's good.

- Now, let's go
- before we miss our tee time.

I got it!

Tamera and I will make this room

a romantic paradise.

We'll fill the room with flowers

and scented candles.

And the best part is

- we'll hide the ring
- in mom's favorite dessert.

Hey, now that...

How we going to get a ring

in peanut brittle?

Good point.

I say we put the ring on top

of a nice, little cupcake.

Oh, yes, with heart icing.

- Now, that sounds
- like a plan.

Put it in the middle.

I know what i'm...

- Just put it
- in the middle.

Oh, my goodness.

Mom will be so surprised

when she discovers

this two-carat cupcake.

Let's hope

- she sees it before
- she chips a tooth.

Oh, girl, of course she will.

- Gosh, I mean, wouldn't you love
- to see mom's face?

Here's my face.

Not yours.

Mother Teresa's.

Oh, yes. That woman

was a Saint.

Yes, she was.

Ooh, cupcake. My favorite.

- No!
- No!

I made that one for tyreke.

And the rest

are for Jordan.

Um, his fraternity

is having a bake sale

so, every

cupcake counts.

So, mom, why are you

all dressed up?

- Oh, well, I want
- to look especially nice.

Oh.

- Victor's going
- to propose today.

What?!

What makes you say that?

Well, honey, every woman knows

when a man is going

to propose to her.

- Victor planned
- a special day for us

- And men do not make
- special plans

- Unless they are going
- to propose.

- Or unless they're
- feeling guilty.

Nah.

Are you sure?

Oh, honey, I have never been

more sure of anything

in my life.

I mean, look at me!

That man, he loves me

and, girls, I love him.

That is why I have been

- practicing surprise reactions
- all morning.

You practiced your answer?

Sure.

If we're in a restaurant,

I'll say, "oh, Victor!"

I'll just be loud, you know

because he'll want

everybody to notice.

- But if we're alone on a carriage
- ride around the city

I won't say a word.

I'll just dissolve

into silent, graceful tears.

- Okay, mom, but don't
- count your chickens

Before they hatch.

- Yeah, I wouldn't set myself up
- for a letdown like that.

Oh, my babies.

Thank you for thinking

of my feelings.

Now go mind your own business.

Go on, go on.

Ooh ooh-ooh!

Ring finger...

This is your big day.

Ooh, let me go put on

some hand lotion

- 'cause you going to see
- some action.

Hey, Ms. Landry.

Hey, you guys.

- We're here
- to pick up our cake.

- Oh, well, it's right
- over there on the counter

Next to your cupcakes.

Uh... uh... are you sure

these are for us?

Yeah. They sure didn't

make them for me.

Dog, wait, wait, wait.

Cupcakes and a cake?

You know

what this means.

Yeah, yard work.

Now, was Dawson named

after the creek

or was the creek

named after Dawson?

Hey, Vic.

Hey.

Come on in.

Thanks.

So, are you ready

for your big day?

- I'm as ready
- as I'll ever be.

- Everything ready
- for the proposal?

You got it.

- When you get back, the couch
- will be surrounded by flowers.

- There will be a little trail
- of Rose petals by the front door

And candles everywhere.

Yep, the ring is in the cupcake.

- It will be waiting for you
- in the kitchen.

Oh, that's great, that's great.

Oh, I thought I heard

a pounding on the door

but I guess

it was just my heart.

Oh, flowers.

Oh, what a surprise.

Lisa, you look stunning.

Don't I, though?

- I can't wait to show you off
- to the world.

Are you ready?

Since the day we met.

Oh, Lisa, hold up.

Oh, Victor!

You sure you want

to do this here, now?

Yeah.

- I been tripping
- over this shoestring

For the last half hour.

- Oh, we wouldn't want you
- to hurt yourself.

Yeah.

Now, you ready, my lady?

Your carriage awaits.

Carriage? Now

we're talking.

Oh, it's just your Jaguar.

Bye, girls.

Bye.

Good luck.

Ohh! Their day is going

to be so romantic.

I can't believe this.

I mean, for so long, I've

had no dad at all, okay?

Then ray came along, then

our natural father showed up

and... and soon

we'll have a stepdad.

Shoot. Father's day

is going to wipe us out.

Hey, girls.

Hey, dad.

- You did a great job on hiding
- those cupcakes from Lisa.

I couldn't even find them.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hey, wait a minute.

When did you hide them?

I was about to ask you

the same thing.

Where did you put them?

- I put them right next
- to Jordan's cake.

Which isn't here either.

Oh...

- The bake sale!
- The bake sale!

Woman:

"I gave my heart

"with hope and love and care.

- "You played
- your part

And today is

what we share."

That was beautiful.

My next piece will be

a special selection

from the gentleman down front.

"Two souls

"independent, free.

"Chance meeting

"souls touch.

"A bond.

"Together forever.

Committed for life."

Lisa.

Yes! Yes!

- Victor, my answer
- is yes!

- Oh, then you're
- hungry, too.

- That's good, 'cause we got
- dinner reservations at 8:00.

Let's go.

Great.

Jordan... Jordan...

house this morning.

- Oh, too late.
- They went quick.

Dang!

Well, what about those two?

I was going to take those.

Good.

- the rules...

- You smash them,
- you buy them.

You owe me $4.00.

Dang! Nothing!

- What's so special
- about these cupcakes?

There is a cupcake

out there worth $15,000.

Dang. I need to raise my prices.

Jordan, my mother's

engagement ring is

in one of them.

Your mom's getting married?

Aw, maybe not.

That is not 5:00,

that is 9:00.

By the stage.

Tia, you come with me.

Jordan, you go over there.

Stop! You can't eat that.

Why not?

You're on a diet.

up in here. Mm-mm.

Okay, look, everybody.

- Everybody just needs
- to calm down, all right?

This is what we need to do.

- Okay, we'll just tell Lisa
- what happened.

We... we-we-we put her ring

in a cupcake

and sold it for $2.00.

Okay. Which one of you

is going to tell her?

We need a new plan.

Ooh, Victor, this place

is so romantic.

Oh, it's the perfect

setting for...

Well, anything

that could happen.

Oh, sweetheart, i'm

so glad you like it.

Well, how could I not?

Ooh, I heard this restaurant

was rated five carats.

I mean... uh, five stars.

Sweetheart?

Uh, yes...

Darling, dear.

Would you like to...?

Would I like to... to what?

Hear the specials.

Tonight we're serving

a fresh rainbow trout...

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

sounds delicious.

We'll take two.

Start cooking.

Now... back to us.

You know, Victor, sitting here

and looking into your eyes...

I can't help feeling that

well, we... we both

want the same thing.

You know, you are so right.

A dozen oysters.

Oh!

Yeah, this'll work.

Well, we wouldn't be going

through all this drama

if the gammas had a car wash

like every other fraternity.

What's going on, guys?

Don't ask.

Well, maybe I can help.

You got $15,000?

Mmm, maybe I can't.

- Man, Victor was supposed
- to propose to my mom tonight

So we put her ring in a cupcake

and Jordan over here sold it

for $2.00 at a bake sale.

- Hey, hey, hey!
- When did this become my fault?

Well, honey,

you did sell the ring.

- What kind of
- person puts

A ring in a cupcake?

Hey, guys...

A romantic person.

- You wouldn't know
- anything about that.

Oh, I just knew you were going

to try and blame me for this.

Hey, guys!

- What? - What?
- What?

Is this the ring?

- Yes! - Yes!
- Yes!

That's the ring!

How did you find it?

Well, I jacked a cupcake.

You owe me $2.00.

- Ty, this thing
- is worth $15,000.

Why didn't you say anything?

- I just figured
- it was like a...

Like a cracker Jack thing.

- I'm going to go
- call my dad.

- So, what were you going
- to do with the ring, huh?

Aw, baby, I was going

to give it to you.

You... were going to give me

a cracker Jack cupcake ring?

Hey... whoa, whoa,

whoa, Tia.

Now, that ring

is worth 15 grand...

Let it go, man.

- Dad, when Lisa and Victor get
- home, you have got to stall them

- Before we get there
- with the ring.

- Never mind, never mind...
- I'll tell you later, okay?

- When we get home.
- All right, bye.

What did he say?

Yes! Dad said there is

nothing to worry about.

- He has everything
- under control.

Yes.

We'd better drive fast.

Mm-hmm.

What?

It's the same

old living room.

So it is.

- Well, with you in it,
- it's all the more beautiful.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Good night.

- No! No! The night
- is not over yet.

It isn't?

No... no.

Tia and tamera made us

a special dessert...

In the kitchen.

Oh, well... I don't have

much of an appetite.

- Oh, come on.
- You'll love it.

I promise.

Well, okay.

Where are

you guys headed?

Well, just into the kitchen

for some "special dessert."

- Well, you don't want
- dessert now.

Why not?

Uh, uh, well, uh, you just ate

and you should wait

at least a half hour.

- We're having dessert,
- not going swimming.

What the hell's

the matter with

your eye?

Um... um...

- Why don't you two
- just sit

- On the couch and I'll be
- your attentive waiter.

Oh...

Look, ray...

Just sit!

There goes his tip.

- The girls lost - the ring.
- What?!

- But they found it
- and they're on their way.

- Why don't I go
- in the kitchen

- And whip up some
- of those cupcakes.

- Ray, I don't know
- what you're up to...

Lisa! Sit down!

What happens next?

You going to

throw me a bone?

Oh, yes, eggs, eggs, eggs.

Bowl... bowl...

Yeah, the milk.

Flour.

Butter... butter...

Who am I kidding?

- Mmm, boy,
- those cupcakes are so good.

They'll be even better when

they get out of the oven.

They'll have to cool

and I'll have to put

some frosting on top.

- They'll be ready in about
- an hour, hour and a half, tops.

Anybody for scrabble?

Victor, I thought you said

the girls made dessert.

- I thought you wanted me
- to make the cupcakes for you.

Who said that?

You did.

- Have you two
- lost your minds?

Well, that's what we heard.

- Enough... i'm
- getting dessert.

- No! No! - Tia:
- Ray!

Whoo! The girls are here.

- With dessert.
- Just like you wanted.

I'm worried

about that man.

What took you so long?

Oh, never mind.

We got the ring.

Where's the cupcake?

Oh...

Better call

Duncan heimlich.

- Lisa... Lisa, there's
- something I want to ask you.

- You know, ray is
- acting so strange.

I don't think he

should be in there

with knives and such.

I'm going to go in there

and check on him.

Lisa, Lisa, listen.

Listen... look...

- You are the most important
- person in my life

And I want to know if...

Oh! Tell me later.

Ray, that better not be

my mama's good China.

What's going on?

Nothing.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I'm going to find out

what's going on in here!

Hmm!

Hmm...

I think I know

this cupcake.

Lisa...

- Look... look...
- Sit down.

Lisa, you are the most important

woman in my life.

Victor?

And I always want you

in my life.

Yes, oh, Victor?

And I really wanted to do this

with, like, trumpets blaring

- and-and, and-and,
- in a flower-filled room...

But what the heck.

Oh, yes, Victor.

Oh!

You want to eat now?

No...

I want this.

Lisa...

I love you.

Will you marry me?

Victor...

Oh! Oh, I don't

know what to say.

- All:
- Say yes!

Yes!
