Luis has his first photography exhibition at an art gallery managed by Susan's friend. At the opening party, Susan notices that the buyers are intimidated, so she purchases one of Luis' paintings to spur business--not realizing that the artwork is much too expensive. Fortunately, a collector later offers her almost twice as much money for the photograph. Feeling guilty but needing the cash, Susan agrees. However, Luis is so proud and grateful that Susan bought his work that she cannot tell him that she sold it. She breaks into his apartment to steal the negative and make a copy so Luis won't notice the photograph isn't hanging on her wall. After Luis finds out what really happened, he is glad his art is worth so much money, and he convinces Susan to just be honest with him. Meanwhile, Todd is perturbed when Jack dates Todd's sexy visiting sister Oxnard. Behaving like an overprotective father, Todd tells Jack not to have sex with Oxnard.

Also, a confused Jack misinterprets an overheard conversation and believes that Luis is dating Vicki.

Tonight's episode of ""Suddenly Susan"" includes not just one, but two reunions of huge proportions.

When Nana almost has a car accident because she can't hear an ambulance's siren, Susan insists that Nana get a hearing aid.

Susan reinvigorates Nana by convincing her to go skydiving with Jack -- and Jack forces Susan to jump from the airplane as well. Meanwhile, Luis and Vicki become jealous of Maddy's super efficient new personal assistant, so they hire one. For the small amount of money Luis and Vicki can pay, they get a moron.

Todd dates the female cantor from Ben's temple, who expresses herself in such a vocal manner that she loses her voice by the end of the evening, causing Vicki to become distraught, as a TV crew is coming to film the cantor. Meanwhile, Maddy suffers a dramatic allergic reaction to the food at the party that causes her to bloat enormously, and stretch the dress so much she can't take it back to the shop as she was planning. Jack eventually decides he has to tell Susan, and she reluctantly decides they should end their relationship.

As Jack and his parents' bickering escalate, Susan tries vainly to make peace. Jack finally defiantly blurts out that he plans to move in with Susan.
