Relativity

Leo insists that Isabel tell Everett that the wedding is off. She does-but she can't refuse when he asks her to attend nuptials at which his family had expected to meet her. Meanwhile, Leo's sister Rhonda has a breakup of her own to deal with.

Leo and Isabel hope that first impressions aren't lasting, when, through a comedy of errors, they unexpectedly meet each other's families. But it's not very amusing when he and Everett come face to face at Isabel's house.

Everything seems perfect as Leo and Isabel prepare to consummate their relationship; everything, that is, except the timing. The one-year anniversary of the death of Leo's mother is approaching and the emotional strain is taking its toil on the young lovers' blossoming relationship-not to mention the rest of the Roth family.

Leo and Isabel decide to move in together, but their friends and families are, to say the least, confused, especially since the couple has known each other for just two weeks.

Leo's brother, Jake, is quite put out when he learns that their father is considering taking a job in Dayton, a move that would involve uprooting the family.

Jake gets a hole in one-and a job at the magazine-when he impresses Isabel's dad with his skill at a computer golf game. But Leo winds up in the parent trap, trying to be a father to his younger brother but unconsciously expecting him to fail.

Isabel is jealous when Leo goes after an assistant's job with successful -- and beautiful -- architect Julia Cordoza, a client of Alan's who could propel Leo to the career he's always wanted. Meanwhile, Karen goes shopping for a new set of wheels and ends up in a weird flirtation with car salesman Doug.

And the winner of the award for best magazine is... Epicenter, and publisher David Lukens thanks everyone in his acceptance speech but the rag's founder: Eve.

Leo's dad Barry isn't sure if he'll make it home for the holidays. Actually, he's in town, living in a motel, but he's unable to tell the family he lost his job in Dayton.
