this was one of my favorite episodes, there are also 2 "movies" in the same genre that I really enjoyed, one is "Molly's Pilgrim" and the other is "Sweet Fifteen". In this episode of Make Believe Marriage, 2 students are randomly selected to act as a pretend married couple and they have to try to cope with various "real life" assigned scenarios such as trying to find someone who will rent them an apartment, finding work while still attending school, shopping for furnishings on a limited budget, and trying to cook meals. The boys real life girlfriend -an empty headed blonde looker- is naturally jealous of his assigned partner, a thoughtful but overweight brunette and back-stabs her every chance she gets. The kicker comes when they also have to pretend they have a baby, and in bonding together over these shared troubles the boy comes to realize that outward looks don't count for much after all.
