[edit] Plot synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In this episode, since Josh and Mindy have been dating for several months, Mindy feels that it is time for Josh to meet her parents for dinner at her house. Once there, Josh gives Mr. Crenshaw a box of chocolates and Mrs. Crenshaw some daisies. Mr. Crenshaw tells him that he is diabetic and Mrs. Crenshaw says that she is allergic to daisies. He then switches the gifts. Mrs. Crenshaw says chocolate gives her hives and Mr. Crenshaw says that in Czechoslovakia daisies are the flowers of death. Once they sit down, one of the bulbs from their chandelier starts blinking. Mrs. Crenshaw says that it is giving her a headache, so Josh stands on his chair and tightens the bulb while Mindy keeps muttering desperately, "Please don't fall down." Josh does not fall, but the chandelier does.

Later, Josh fixes up his own dining room because he managed to convince Mindy's parents to come over for dinner. He tells Drake that he and his girlfriend Lucy, who are planning to have a wrestling match to prove who is tougher, have to stay upstairs, because if things do not go well, Mindy's parents will forbid her from dating Josh. Josh sends Drake and Lucy upstairs right before Mindy and her parents come over.

Things go well; Mindy's parents like the ice sculpture and the elderly harp player that Josh got. They say that they had the wrong impression about Josh, but then Drake and Lucy bring their wrestling match downstairs. They cause a ruckus, along with Megan and all the kids she charged to watch Drake and Lucy fight, so Josh breaks up the fight and angrily and sarcastically bellows, "IT'S A DRAW!" Once Mindy's parents find out that Drake is Josh's brother, they say that Mindy is not allowed to date Josh anymore. Josh yells at Drake about how he ruined his relationship, how he worked for two days and spent $400 on the ice sculpture and elderly harp player.

After Mindy's parents hear how much trouble Josh went through, they let them date again, and Mr. Crenshaw then asks why Drake and Lucy were fighting. Drake says that they were fighting to see who was tougher. Mr. Crenshaw says that men are genetically predispositioned to be better fighters then women; Mrs. Crenshaw says that it is untrue, and that whoever has better skills will claim victory. Then they start wrestling with each other while the others watch.

A scene at the end of the episode shows that Mindy has a little brother, Alden, who was supposed to make matters worse at Mindy's house and was apparently cut for time.

Spoilers end here.
