Both Brenda and Rhoda have exciting things going-on in their respective lives. Brenda is going engagement ring shopping with Benny. And Rhoda has been nominated for a prestigious New York Society of Costume Designers award for a science-fiction monster mask she designed. Jack, who has never won anything in his life, isn't happy for Rhoda until he learns that the company shares the honor if she wins. As such, Jack springs for the entire gang, including Brenda and Benny, to go to the awards dinner and dance. Rhoda is thinking about going solo, although Jack thinks she should ask one of their clients, model good looking Doug Korman. Despite Rhoda's less than eloquent invitation, Doug accepts. Rhoda admits that she is looking forward to having someone as good looking as Doug on her arm for the event. Beyond Rhoda and Jack actually winning or not winning the award, the events of the evening end up being less than smooth for their entire group, especially for Doug.
