When invited to spend more times with the neighbors, Donna decided to sneak out and spend more time with her old friends at a single mothers gathering. Getting away from Cleveland helps spark the relationship. Cleveland finds out that she wasn't spending time with the other wives but gets distracted. While on a day out tubing down a river with the kids, Cleveland stumbles across Donna and her friends who are shocked to find out shes married. Donna is forced to tell the truth to Cleveland who is at first angry but after spending some time away, comes to realize just how much he cares for Donna. He hatches a plan to help Donna get back together with her friends by acting like a jerk by convincing her friends that their marriage won't last long.

Meanwhile, Cleveland Jr. is nominated as a joke for Student Council President. Afraid of looking bad if he looses, Rallo comes to his aid as his campaign manager. When their efforts at slander don't produce enough results, Rallo attempts to pass off Cleveland Jr. as blind.

## Trivia

* This is Donna's first time going to the Bear House, after all her years of living next door to them. This is because Arianna didn't allow single mothers into her house, believing them to be sinful against traditional Christian marriages and not wanting such Satanism in her house.
* It's revealed that Donna used to be best friends with a single party girl, named Yvette, during her divorce with Robert. She and Yvette were part of a group of party girls, who talked trash about men, while desperately trying find one.
* Cleveland has an inflatable sex doll named Dolly.
* Junior becomes student council president.

### Cultural References

* The correct answer to Donna's celebrity is Tom Cruise. But Kendra thinks it's Jason Lee of "My Name is Earl".
* Cleveland Jr.'s original idea for his slogan "What Can Brown Do For You?" is the slogan for United Parcel Service (UPS).
* Cleveland Jr.'s campaign poster is patterned after Shepard Fairey's HOPE / Obama image used as President Barack Obama's campaign poster. Rallo also suggests that he changes his slogan to "Yes We Canned Ham!" in a parody of Obama's "Yes We Can!"
