The sibling rivalry between John and Carmine reaches a head on John's birthday when he insists on getting nicer rims on his car than the ones his older brother has. Meanwhile, Frankie is stressed out that Victoria is about to go on another blind date with a new suitor named Paul. Victoria's nerves prompt her to eat cupcakes by the dozen until she realizes she has gained weight. In an attempt to shape up for the date, Victoria visits a nutritionist, works out with a hunky personal trainer and goes so far as to get botox injections and collagen shots in her lips. Denise, the matchmaker, calls to prepare Victoria for the date. After several more arguments, John finally gets his new rims. Victoria sneaks out on her date, undiscovered by the boys, but has very little connection with Paul, so she employs her sister's help in calling in a fake emergency call to get her out of the date.
