Episode #325 "He Who Hesitates is Lucas"

  Darien asks Ruth and Hilton for Erica's hand in marriage. When they agree, he pops the question, and she says yes immediately. Ruth, Jurnee, and Pauline help Erica shop for a wedding gown, but the good ones are very expensive, and she can't make up her mind. Hilton takes Darien aside and instructs him on how to deal with the decisions Erica now expects him to make about everything from silver patterns to wedding invitations. Pauline throws the couple an engagement party, where they announce their plans to live with the Lucases after the wedding. Hilton and Ruth act pleased about this turn of events, but Hilton later tells Ruth he's unhappy about it. Ruth says he should have spoken up and confesses that she's also not too thrilled about having Darien and Erica live with them. Ruth then has the difficult task of telling Erica that she and Hilton think they should find another place to live. She drops hints and Erica finally gets the point. The next day Hilton and Ruth look on proudly as Erica models her beautiful and very expensive wedding dress.ext here | insert text here }
