Claude's parents come to visit her at work, eagerly looking forward to meeting the renowned anchorman, Will Butler. They extend an invitation for dinner, and Will responds with "that would be great," leaving the Caseys under the impression he would attend. However, to Will, it really means "not a chance." Claude struggles with how to tell her parents the truth and ends up taking the heat for it. When they express their disappointment and scold her, Will makes an unexpected appearance to surprise Claude. Meanwhile, Kipp finds himself infatuated with a college student who adores him but ends up heartbroken when she accepts a position as an associate producer at CNN, leaving him alone with his fabrications.
