Storyline[]
It is a "surprise party" indeed when Willona (Ja'net DuBois) is visited during her birthday celebration by her philandering ex-husband Ray (Carl Lee). Turning on the charm, Ray insists that he's given up skirt-chasing and wants Willona to come back to him. But when Ray sets his eyes upon Thelma (BernNadette Stanis), it's a different story -- or, to be more precise, it's the same old story!
