Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After filling in for the regular campus disc jockey, Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) angles to get the job on a permanent basis. Meanwhile, Maggie (Marisa Tomei) and Whitley (Jasmine Guy) prepare a classroom debate on the topic of whether women can successfully juggle a family and a career. When Maggie drops out of the debate while mulling over a marriage proposal from boyfriend Mike (Dean Howell), Denise is forced to take her place--virtually in mid-sentence. Featured in this episode are several members of the talented Wayans clan: Kim, Damon and Keenen Ivory.
