Upset about not getting his way after Carrie agrees to Arthur's choices for dinner and a movie rental, Doug tries to manipulate him into wanting the same things he does.
Newly slim Doug surprises Carrie with a romantic getaway to a resort in the mountains, but she discovers that he had been there with an old girlfriend.
Doug asks Arthur to train him at ping-pong so that he can beat Carrie, and Spence is jealous when his girlfriend is promoted to waitress at the bowling alley.
