When the gang treat Paul to a 26th birthday dinner at Mambo Mambo,there are sparks between recently seperated Jess and bartender Mac. So when Maggie takes a call for Jess, she tells Mac that Jess would love to go out with him -- which causes a catfight between the two women. And speaking of cats, Jess and Spats have their first on-screen tift. Captain Parker begins working at Regency, and Lenora begins her flirtation with him.

While Jess and Mac feud over his decision to spend the evening watching a ball game, Maggie goes on a first date with an obnoxious man, and Randy's first date is interrupted by a blind man. Paul thinks he's scored the man of his dreams -- until he realizes who he is.

When going through some old magazines at a thrift sale, the gang discovers an old issue of Playpen with an article entitled ""The Girls of Pan Am: Around the World in 80 Ways,"" which features model Linda Zernick. . .who bears an uncanny resemblance to Lenora Zwick. Meanwhile, Jess keeps having chance encounters with all of Mac's ex-girlfriends, so she invites them all over to dish.

Regine Hunter shows up as a passenger and demands to be upgraded to first class. Paul gets stood up, as does Lenora by Rex, so they get drunk together at Mambo Mambo. Randy's cyber-pal, G-String, is a little younger than he expected. And Jess makes plans with Mac and Maggie on the same night, so she feeds them an endless stream of lies so that the trio can all have dinner together.
