Bob gets a dressing down from Owen after he innocently buys Alicia a beautiful dress while on a shopping spree. After skirting the issue for a few days, Owen tries to one-up Bob by buying his fiancée a dress himself; but he doesn't have Bob's terrific taste.

Owen learns he can't fight city hall after Alicia - shocked by her parents' announcement that they plan to divorce - demands he take her there at once to get married.

After Owen and Bob sign restaurateur Max Lobster to a lucrative contract, Leavitt takes the account away from them - so they quit, sending Owen into a depressive tailspin nine days before his wedding.
