- The 43-year-old Robert is dating a 22-year-old named Erica, and Marie and Debra find his new girlfriend way too young for his age. Frank invites her to his birthday party, which becomes a disaster.
- Robert dates a 22-year-old girl named Erica (Tinsley Grimes). Ray and Frank are excited to meet her as she is young and perky, but Debra and Marie are annoyed. Frank invites Erica to his Birthday party. Marie says that Erica is way too young and calls her a gold digger after she leaves. Frank is simply proud of Robert who first dated Stefania and now Erica.
While Debra supports Robert in front of Marie, but she takes her frustration out on Ray and implies that all men want and lust after younger women. Debra says that with such an age difference Robert and Erica would have nothing to talk about. Debra says that there is no way Robert could be serious about this relationship and is obviously using her. Debra is furious but maintains that the family should not interfere in Robert's life. Debra says that Robert has an issue with intimacy, so he has chosen a relationship that is doomed from the very beginning.
Ray speaks to Robert about how Erica is making Debra feel old and begs him to break up with her. Ray tells Robert that Debra changes whenever Erica is not in the room, and he has to face the brunt of this second Debra. Ray says that when Robert broke up with Amy, Debra ended up yelling at Ray for weeks and he is still getting his hearing back.
After a disastrous birthday party where Frank starts hitting on Erica and Marie is so angry that she drags Frank away and takes away all the food. Marie offers Erica milk to show that she is that young and pretends that Frank is hard of hearing by shouting everything in his ear. Robert refuses to believe Ray's story about 2 Debras and Debra refuses to sit next to Erica.
Frank gets really angry and decides to go to the lodge as Marie is embarrassing him. Erica realizes that the family is having issues with her presence and offers to leave. Ray, Debra, Robert and Erica go out for dinner. This was Robert and Erica's idea. Debra wasn't keen on it but could not refuse Robert to his face. While Ray and Robert are away to the bathroom, Debra discovers that the girl Erica is just 19 years old. Debra is livid that Erica is still a teenager and is barely out of high school. When Robert learns this, he is shocked. Erica says that she didn't tell Robert the truth as she was afraid that Robert would not go out with her.
Ray and Debra then find out that Robert had told her that he is 35, not 43, and that Ray is 37. Ray is angry that Erica believed that he was older than Robert. Erica is now increasingly uncomfortable and decides to leave. They break up and the remaining three finish their meals. Robert accuses Debra of enjoying while his relationship with Erica was destroyed and says that he agrees that Debra is threatened by younger women. Robert says that he was flattered that Erica liked him, and they could speak for hours. They realize they are old as Erica was less than half their age.
