When the gang treat Paul to a 26th birthday dinner at Mambo Mambo,there are sparks between recently seperated Jess and bartender Mac. So when Maggie takes a call for Jess, she tells Mac that Jess would love to go out with him -- which causes a catfight between the two women. And speaking of cats, Jess and Spats have their first on-screen tift. Captain Parker begins working at Regency, and Lenora begins her flirtation with him.

When Maggie's ex-boyfriend, Jake Monroe, the guy who couldn't commit, phones her, she thinks he wants to reconcile. But the reality is that he's getting married and wants her to attend his wedding. So she attends, trying to pass Paul off as her new boyfriend, but she winds up in a drunken stupor and proposes a curse instead of a toast before writing ""Just Married. . .A Cow"" on the back of Jake's car.
