Run on the other hand wants a simple (and cheap) "hot dogs on the grill" barbeque. Their battle of wills turns hilarious when Justine hires a party planner from church, and Run systematically shoots down her elaborate designs.
Conflict also boils up among the kids when Angela fails to invite her siblings to the bash. In the end, everybody comes to the party, and Run saves the biggest surprise for last when he hands Angela the keys to her graduation gift, a cherry-red Mercedes Benz. | | Guest Stars: Funkmaster Flex as Himself | |
