The title refers to the two plots in this episode. First, everyone at WJM is excited by the upcoming Teddy Awards ceremony, as practically everyone, including Mary, has been nominated. Second, Rhoda has a new boyfriend and she's excited because she thinks he might be a keeper. But soon Bob begins asking Rhoda to bring Mary along...and it sure becomes awkward! This, naturally, creates some tensions between Mary and Rhoda.
To me, this was kind of a weak episode. Although I enjoyed the Teddy Awards portion quite a bit, the tension between Rhoda and Mary is a bit ugly. Still, it IS "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and any episode from this great series is still worth watching.
