- Robert breaks up with Amy.
- Robert is settling in to his new apartment. But when his girlfriend Amy comes over to check out the new place, she starts rearranging furniture and hinting at marriage. After hearing horror stories from Ray about marriage, Robert freaked out. When Amy realized he was freaking out, she broke up with Robert.
- Robert is living it up in his new apartment and is happy for the first time in his life. The apartment is nice and classy and in an upmarket building. Marie is mad that Robert sounds so happy.
When Amy (Monica Horan) starts decorating Robert's new place. Amy loves the place and everything about it. She is fascinated by the balcony with the sliding doors, the dishwasher (that even Robert did not know about), the cute bedroom, the crown moldings and the tiles in the bathroom.
Robert is having fun making peanut butter sandwiches for himself with his fingers and eating them on a paper plate. All he needs is napkins. Amy wants Robert is get some proper cutlery. Robert believes that a nice tray for ice cubes would be good. Amy wants curtains and for the couch to face the window and he feels pressured to move forward in his relationship. Amy doesn't want TV in the living room.
When he comes to Ray for advice, his comments on marriage do not help his fears. Ray has also been waiting all day at home for Debra's curtains to be delivered and had to miss his golf game. Ray says he is a hostage in the marriage while Debra is out partying. He can only watch the movies that Debra wants to watch (Debra wants to watch the one with the daughter who learns to care for the mother who has a disease. While Ray wants to watch the one with the guns and the car chases and the nudity with no meaning), he sleeps when she lets him sleep and he eats what she lets him eat. Ray calls himself a hostage. His only job is to open jars and kill bugs. He says that he will trade his life with anyone for a pack of cigarettes. While the kids are great, but Ray thinks that's how they hook you.
When Amy and Robert break up, Marie and Debra blame Ray. Robert told Amy that he didn't want to be a "hostage" and Amy told Debra and Marie. Debra says that Amy broke up with Robert when Robert says that he could not commit to her in their relationship.
Debra is upset that Amy put in 2 years into the relationship with Robert and got nothing for her investment. Debra says that it is very difficult for a woman to get a guy like Robert to commit, and Ray ruined everything with his prison talk. Marie is upset that she invested 2 years into Amy and now she won't have any grand-kids from her. Amy was supposed to have 4 kids after she got married to Robert.
When Ray tries to fix the issue by saying marriage is good if it is with the right person, Robert clarifies that it was his own decision and Ray is not responsible for the break-up. He says that he has lived with Marie all his life. He just moved into a new apartment on his own and Amy is already bringing him house plants, which he is not ready for. He wants to be on his own for a while.
