Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Clair (Phylicia Rashad) can't hide her disdain for Mark Etten (Douglas Turner Ward), whom Cliff (Bill Cosby) has invited to his 50th birthday party. It seems that Mark had once been married to one of Clair's best friends, but the marriage broke up because of his rampant infidelity. Ultimately, Clair and Mark have a showdown, with startling results. Meanwhile back at the party, the kids regale Cliff with a "Things That Are Older Than Dad" show; and Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) finds a kindred spirit in Mark Etten's 12-year-old daughter Ellen (Ashley Thompson).
