Based on the domestic situation of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, this comedy examines the humor that arises in trying to create a new life in a day and age where the old one never completely falls away. Robert James raises his young son while sharing custody of the boy with his ex-wife.

Neesee proposes to Robert's college buddy, Johnny (Will Smith), but the newly engaged couple is too afraid to tell him.

Dirk's estranged brother (Tyra Banks) reveals he has had a sex-change operation; Robert's mother (Patti LaBelle) collapses during a visit.

Neesee's child-support check bounces when Tia accidentally gives Robert's sister, Carmen (Tisha Campbell-Martin), money that was intended for Bobby Jr.; Dirk and Jonelle try to start a romance.

Robert tries to prove his love for Tia by having a wedding that is more extravagant than his first wedding to Neesee.
