Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Though devastated by the news that her parents are divorcing, Whitley (Jasmine Guy) tries to make the best of things as she prepares to spend Christmas with her father Mercer (Conroy Gedeon). But the Holiday may be over before it begins when she comes face to face with her dad's very-much-younger girlfriend Monica (Troy Beyer). Meanwhile, Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) tries to impress Denise (Lisa Bonet) by passing his pal Ron (Darryl M. Bell) off as his personal servant; and the rest of the gang faces embarrassment after complaining about some "surprise" gifts.
