"We Are Family"
Written by Ryan Murphy & Adam Horowitz
Original Air Date: 5/4/00
Brooke and Sam devise a plan to thwart the
imminent wedding plans of their parental units.
Both girls and their respective groups of friends
agree that, as Nicole says, "separatism between
two different species is what works."
As part of their plan, Brooke and Sam plant a pair
of sexy black silk women's underwear in the
clothes hamper, put some lipstick stains on some
of Mike's white t-shirts and plant a reservation
confirmation slip from "The Sweet Sin Palace" in
Mike's pocket, all in order to convince Jane that
Mike is cheating on her. The plan ends up
backfiring and the wedding moves ahead as
planned.
As the girls are plotting deviously, Jane and Mike
then drop an even bigger bombshell -- Jane is
going to adopt Brooke and Mike is going to adopt
Sam so their families will truly merge in every way.
Brooke is secretly pleased that Jane wants to
adopt her and is quickly warming up to the idea of
having a mother again. Sam, however, doesn't
want to let Mike adopt her and vows to fight it
every step of the way. She also becomes jealous
over her mom's growing closeness with Brooke.
In fact, Sam is so desperate to keep the wedding
from taking place that she enlists the help of her
sworn enemy Nicole. True to character, Nicole ends
up stabbing Sam in the back and tells everyone --
including Sam's mom -- that she came to Nicole
and asked her to help stop the ceremony at any
cost. Sam's family problems quickly go from bad
to worse.
Meanwhile, Mary Cherry is shocked (and initially
horrified) to learn that her "momma," Cherry
Cherry (guest-star Delta Burke) is marrying Erik
Estrada. However, Mary changes her tune and
welcomes Estrada with open arms once he gives
her his authentic "CHIPS" crew jacket. What's
more, Mary finds out that she's going to be
interviewed by "E! True Hollywood Stories" for their
upcoming profile on her soon-to-be stepfather!
Going up?
