The Naked Truth
Season 1, Episode 11 · Aired 1993-11-07
Synopsis
During a game of "Truth or Challenge," Kyle mocks the women for their tendency to snipe at each other. Regine points out that he talks about Overton behind his back, and Max reveals that Kyle was annoyed when Overton tagged along on his date. This leads to a blowout fight, and Overton decides to move out. Synclaire asks him to stay at the girls' apartment, much to Regine's chagrin. When Overton goes into the bathroom to shave, he accidentally sees Khadijah naked. He apologizes constantly, and she suggests that he relax. She urges him to stand up to Kyle. This advice backfires, as Kyle arrives moments later and asks Overton to return to the apartment. Overton refuses to move back until Kyle apologizes. He begins to drive all the girls crazy with his annoying habits, so they try to bribe Kyle into giving in. Kyle refuses, but pretends the toilet is clogged so that Overton will have to come to the apartment. They realize they have forgotten the reason for their dispute. The girls compare embarrassing stories about Khadijah, but Synclaire's is the topper. She reveals that her cousin (at age five) held luncheons for her dolls…and breast-fed them.Tag:Embarrassing stories about Khadijah.Music:"I Got You (I Feel Good)" (James Brown), sung by Queen Latifah; "Handyman" (variation of "Baby Love" by the Supremes), sung by T.C.
