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 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."

Believing he must prove his love to Tia by outdoing his first wedding, Robert goes for an extravagant ceremony, despite the fact that Tia insists she only wants a simple, intimate celebration.

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 Neesee accidentally forgets to sign Bobby's permission slip for a class field trip, Tia signs Neesee's name for her. Later, Neesee becomes upset because Tia signed Neesee's maiden name.
