synopsis
In the first episode of a three-part story, Whitley is canvassing several businesses for a campus fundraiser when he meets Byron Douglas III (Joe Morton), a wealthy restaurant owner who is running for the State Senate. Though Whitley is impressed by Douglas, the same cannot be said of Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison), who is jealous of the erudite candidate. Dwayne feels even more eclipsed by Douglas when the man single-handedly saves Mr. Gaines' business from being taken over by a powerful coroporation--and Whitley expresses her gratitude in a highly amorous fashion.
