Russell learns of Vanessa's engagement through a friend who attends church with the Brickeys. The woman erroneously reports that Dabnis is 45 years old. Outraged, Russell and Clair's mother grill Dabnis when he and Vanessa come for a visit. He assures them that Russell's friend always gets him confused with his older brother. He informs the pair that he loves Vanessa and has a good job as head of maintenance. However, nothing he says seems to satisfy them. Vanessa constantly makes speeches about how happy she is, and vows to stand by Dabnis. The grandparents realize that Dabnis is a good man after watching him give Cliff some much-needed help with household repairs. After the whole family offers its blessing and inquires about the wedding date, Vanessa begins to panic.
