Storyline
Angela has canceled a meeting because it's parent evening at Jonathan's school. Unfortunately, Jonathan made a mistake: The parent evening isn't until next week. An annoyed Angela goes upstairs to take a comforting bath. Meanwhile, Tony has a date with Cindy, the professor Mona has classes from, and, not knowing Angela has come home early, he decides to take a bath in Angela's tub because he only has a shower. The inevitable happens: Tony accidentally sees Angela naked. Written by Marco van Hoof <k_luifje7@hotmail.com>

When Angela mumbles the word "underpants" she covers her mouth with her right hand. In the next shot her left hand is raised to her face and her right is on her waist. See more »Quotes

Then you got to come all the way back over here to put on your bra. And then you got to chug way back over here to put on your pantyhose.Angela: What were you before you came here, a female impersonator?
