The family is excited about the event, and they make a game out of seeing who can come up with the best item to donate. Vanessa decides to donate her toy fire engine, while Rudy plans to donate her "Little Bo Peep" costume. Denise, however, is having trouble coming up with something to contribute. She searches through her belongings, but nothing seems appropriate.

Meanwhile, Theo is busy trying to impress a girl named Gina, who he's been crushing on at school. He tells her about the auction and tries to convince her to come with him.

Denise is still struggling to find something to donate, but she finally comes up with an idea. She decides to auction off her father's favorite shirt, which he's been wearing for years. Cliff is initially upset when he finds out, but Denise convinces him to let her do it by telling him how much money it could raise.

Theo is excited to bid on the special item for Gina, but he's surprised when it turns out to be a date with him. He's nervous about the prospect of going on a date with her, but he's also excited. When he wins the bid, he can hardly believe it.

After all the items have been auctioned off, the Huxtables tally up the total amount raised. They're ecstatic to discover that they've raised much more than they expected. They're proud of what they've accomplished and happy to have been able to help the charity.
