Valerie compliments Carlton for being a perfect gentleman and putting up with her cousin before the two start kissing, which Will ends up seeing. Will is angry with Carlton which culminates in him supergluing Carlton's hands to his head and the two ending up in a fight when Carlton makes sexual remarks about Valerie but Will is knocked unconscious when Carlton elbows him in the face. Will has a nightmare that he and Carlton are both elderly men in a nursing home and Carlton steals Will's nurse. The two men fight but Carlton suffers a heart attack and tells Will he hates him before dying as Will cries over the fact he never got to tell Carlton he was sorry. After waking up from the nightmare, the two apologize and make up as they are family and that is what is important.

Meanwhile, Ashley is ecstatic about taking driving lessons with Phillip but quickly changes her mind when Will, Carlton and Hilary tell her all the horror stories about Phillip's bossy nature as the passenger. Hilary teaches Ashley to drive but it's only pretend with Ashley using a dish for a steering wheel and sitting in a chair while Hilary pretends to wave at celebrities she sees on the road. Frustrated, Ashley leaves to go take the bus.
