Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Whitley (Jasmine Guy) faces the challenge of a lifetime when Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) bets her that she can't go an entire day without flirting. Elsewhere, a nervous Ron (Darryl M. Bell) organizes a roast for Colonel Taylor (Glynn Turman), inviting the Colonel's former Vietnam comrade Frank Benning (Obba Babatunde) as the surprise guest speaker. But Taylor is less than thrilled at this turn of events: Benning had lost a leg in the war, and the guilt-ridden Colonel has always held himself responsible for this tragedy.
