The Cranes get invited to a party at the Hamilton's house.

Candy is excited to hear she's won a recipe contest -- until she finds out that her prize is an invitation to prepare her winning recipe live on ""Wake Up Seattle."" Candy confesses to the rest of the family that she's been terrified of public speaking ever since she was in high school, when she sneezed uncontrollably during a presentation and got laughed at by the entire school.

Martin invites Rip over for dinner to meet his family. Candy doesn't want Martin to get involved in Rip's personal problems.

Rip takes up Martin's advice and announces his plans to the staff -- where Martin is horrified to hear that Rip mortgaged the station to pay for financing. Worse, Rip lets them all know that it was Martin's idea! Rip holds a private screening to view one scene that's been shot -- which is embarrassingly awful. But Martin has to tell Rip the truth about his nonexistent acting ability or risk putting everybody's jobs in jeopardy.
Harold decides to throw his hat into the ring and run for class president.
