Episode #224 "Love Intervention"

Griffin’s walking around with a huge grin on his face, and, when questioned, confesses he’s in love. Everyone’s skeptical, because Griffin’s known to be fickle when it comes to women, but he says this time it’s for real. The woman is Stephanie, Jurnee’s older sister and Erica’s friend. Griffin is taking Stephanie out, and he asks Jurnee to wait up for her and find out what she thinks of him. When Jurnee tells Griffin that Stephanie said there’s nothing she’d rather do that be with him, he’s over the moon. Ruth tells Hilton that Griffin’s behavior has convinced her that he’s in love, but Hilton’s not so sure. He advised Griffin to go slow and be aware of Stephanie’s feelings; Griffin assures him he’d never hurt her. Pauline give Hilton and Griffin a relationship quiz she found in a magazine. When Hilton hears Griffin turn down an opportunity to spend an evening with his buddy and two beautiful women, it becomes clear to him that Griffin is really in love. But when Erica talks to Stephanie about Griffin, she tells Erica that Griffin’s not he kind of guy she’d want to have a relationship with; what she actually told Jurnee was that she’d rather be with Griffin than do nothing at all. When she hears Griffin’s in love with her, Stephanie says she’d better set him straight. When Hilton, who knows Stephanie’s true feelings, hears Griffin say he’s about to declare his love and give Stephanie a gold locket that belonged to his grandmother, Hilton says they should have dinner at the Lucases, because he’s afraid Griffin’s about to get some really bad news. At dinner everyone, including Jurnee, sings Griffin’s praises to Stephanie, but she wants to be alone with him. She says that if he needs that many testimonials he must have something to hide, but when he professes his love she relents, saying that it’s the sweetest, most incoherent thing she’s ever heard.
