The sitcom Family Ties follows the lives of the Keaton family, including parents Steven and Elyse, and their children Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, and Andrew. In the fourth season premiere, titled "The Real Thing (1)," the family prepares for a major change as Mallory announces her engagement to her college boyfriend, Nick Moore.

Steven and Elyse are initially thrilled for their daughter, but begin to have doubts when they learn that Nick comes from a wealthy family and has never had to work for anything in his life. Alex, who has always harbored feelings for Mallory, sees this as an opportunity to swoop in and convince her that she's making a mistake.

Meanwhile, Jennifer is dealing with her own issues as she struggles with wanting to grow up too quickly. She begins dressing in more mature clothing and even tries to impress a boy who is a few years older than she is. Steven and Elyse fear that they are losing their little girl and try to find ways to keep her grounded.

As Mallory and Nick's wedding date approaches, tensions rise within the Keaton household. Can Mallory and Nick's relationship withstand the pressure from her family? Will Jennifer learn that growing up takes time? And will Alex finally get the girl of his dreams?

"The Real Thing (1)" sets the stage for a season full of changes and challenges for the Keaton family. Through it all, they will continue to rely on each other and their unconditional love to help them navigate the ups and downs of family life.
