Ep 16. Where's Your Other Wives, Tunde?

Bob Hearts Abishola is a lighthearted comedy that follows the story of Bob, a middle-aged, hardworking businessman who owns a compression sock factory in Detroit. Bob is divorced and living with his mother, Dottie, who is very supportive of his crush on Abishola, a Nigerian immigrant who works at the hospital where Bob was admitted after a heart attack. Abishola is a hardworking nurse who takes care of Bob, and although she initially doesn't reciprocate Bob's feelings, she slowly starts to warm up to him as they spend more time together.

In season 1 episode 16, titled "Where's Your Other Wives, Tunde?," Bob decides to organize a surprise birthday party for Abishola. He invites all her friends from the hospital and gives her a beautiful African dress as a gift. While everything seems to be going smoothly, Tunde, Abishola's brother-in-law, shows up unexpectedly, causing some tension between him and the other guests.

Tunde, who is Nigerian like Abishola, is a bit of a troublemaker and likes to boast about his wealth and success in Lagos, Nigeria. He has multiple wives and a large family, which he often brags about to anyone who will listen. When he arrives at the party, he starts to act superior and is condescending to Bob, who he sees as an inferior American.

To make matters worse, Tunde reveals that he is planning to stay in Detroit for a few months and needs a place to stay. Abishola, who is always very hospitable, offers to let him stay with her and her family, much to Bob's dismay. Bob is worried that Tunde will cause trouble and upset the delicate balance of his relationship with Abishola, but she assures him that everything will be fine.

As the party continues, tensions between Tunde and the other guests continue to escalate. Tunde keeps reminding everyone about his wealth and success, which irritates the other Nigerians who are not as fortunate as he is. Bob, who is trying his best to be polite, starts to get fed up with Tunde's arrogance and eventually snaps at him.

Tunde, who is not used to being spoken to in such a manner, storms out of the party, leaving everyone feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Abishola, who is upset that her brother-in-law ruined her birthday party, tries to make things right by talking to Tunde and trying to smooth things over between him and Bob.

In the end, Tunde apologizes for his behavior and agrees to stay in a hotel instead of Abishola's house. Bob and Abishola make up and everything returns to normal. The episode ends with Abishola giving Bob a kiss on the cheek, which shows that their relationship is starting to progress.

Overall, "Where's Your Other Wives, Tunde?" is a funny and entertaining episode that showcases the cultural differences between Americans and Nigerians. It also highlights the importance of family and hospitality in Nigerian culture, which are values that Abishola holds dear. The episode ends on a positive note, with Bob and Abishola's relationship growing stronger despite the challenges they face.
