Caroline in the City

Caroline and the Nice Jewish Boy

Season 2, Episode 6, Aired 11/12/96

Episode Summary

Joe refuses to accompany Caroline to an award ceremony because one of the sponsors uses animal products; so she calls former date Willard, whom she dumped because he was fat and balding. After Charlie takes him to a Jewish singles event by mistake, Del lies about his background to date an attractive woman who parents will only allow her to date Jewish men. Willard shows up a reformed hunk who only came to tell Caroline to go to hell - "And I'm rich, too!" Aghast that Del plans to tell Risa the truth only after they spend a weekend together, Caroline points out delicately that if they sleep together Risa will know only, because Del is a "turtleneck kind of guy." So Del books himself into hospital, telling Risa he needs his "tonsils" removed; but she shows up to confess that she is eloping with her former boyfriend, who isn't Jewish either. A reluctant Richard escorts Caroline and even more reluctantly dances with her. Just as they seem about to have a tender moment, Joe appears, having decided Caroline's triumph is more important than his principles - and Richard walks home alone. 'moreless
