Plot: While getting ready for his Superbowl party, Tom spots someone crawling through the window of a newly-built mansion across the street, he calls the police. When they arrive, they discover their new neighbor is Choni who forgot her keys. Choni is upset that Tom would jump to conclusions and decides to teach him a lesson by upstaging his Superbowl party with one of her own. Tom becomes upset but comes to realize that maybe he doesn't know anything about Mexicans and asks Choni to educate him by subjecting him to Mexican culture.

Choni's plan is a success as Tom becomes completely enraptured in what he has learned. When Choni's babysitter cancels, she asks Tom to fill in for her and he agrees. However, Tom loses Marco and brings home the wrong Mexican child. As they search for him, they discover him at a chicken auction where Choni turns out to have much in common with the stereotypes Tom believed her to have and Choni turns out to also have many of her own stereotypes about blacks. They both admit they have much to learn about each other but Choni still doesn't like Tom.

Meanwhile, Tyler helps enroll Cecilia into school. To help her become acclimated, he tires to set her up with a date with Baylor Hudson. But when he sees they become too friendly, he intervenes and threatens Baylor. When he finds Cecilia depressed since Baylor didn't show up for their date, he forces Baylor to go out with her but threatens him again if he becomes too friendly.
