Relationship expert, Pastor Calvin Roberson, meets the couples' parents for the first time and hears their concerns about their child's choice of partner, resulting in verbal fireworks and hurt feelings.
Blair and Chris confront Blair’s head-strong mother about her apparent prejudice leading to a shocking revelation about her own husband; Willi and Cameron face even greater resistance from their respective families over religion; and Kareem’s mother rejects his dream of adopting Kee Kee’s son.
Cal instructs the couples to bring their families together by hosting a dinner with both sets of parents. But the meals all end up leaving a bad taste in their mouths: Blair mistakenly thinks Korean BBQ might help Kelly understand Chris better, Willi and Cameron don’t want to talk about kids over dinner, and Kee Kee and Kareem’s moms unite in their disapproval.
