When Eubanks suggests the young couples appear as contestants on his show, Marcia, Jan and Wally become excited about the prospects of winning lots of prizes. Philip, however, takes a dim view of the situation, feeling he'll make a fool of himself, but decides to go along with it when he realizes he could win a new aquarium for his guppies.
