Episode #401 "My Spy"

Hilton and Griffin decide to stay up all night watching a marathon of "I Spy" (which just happens to have co-starred Bill Cosby) - and Ruth observes that Hilton's been hooked on the show ever since one of his co-workers called him Alexander Scott (Bill Cosby's character's name from the show). As the night wears on, Hilton dreams that he is hanging out at the Flower Café when a dashing guy in tennis whites carrying a racquet approaches him. It's Agent Kelly Robinson (guest star Robert Culp) from "I Spy," wanting to know what his buddy is doing here in Queens. Hilton explains that for the past thirty years, he's been undercover as a baggage handler in Queens and his wife Ruth has been a special operative who's part of the cover. Kelly tells Hilton that they have an important mission to do. Hilton agrees to help out, and he and Kelly head off to Hong Kong on their mission. As this "I Spy" adventure unfolds, Ruth, Pauline, and Darien pop up playing various roles. Erica enters at one point as herself and complains that she can't find a suitable spot for her wedding reception, but Hilton tells her not to bother him because he's dreaming. As the plot involving a mysterious woman and a missing secret grows more complicated, Erica enters again dressed as a bride. Her presence reminds Hilton/Scotty that he still has responsibilities at home - so he reluctantly tells Kelly he has to go undercover again, just as Ruth finally wakes Hilton up from this crazy dream. In a surprising tag scene, Hilton and Ruth find themselves playing another famous couple from a TV classic - Cliff and Claire Huxtable from "The Cosby Show."
