The show revolves around two half-sisters, Mona and Dee Dee, who were previously unaware of each other's existence until their father, a successful record producer, reunited with them later in life. In season 3, episode 10, titled "The Big Parent Trap Episode," the sisters find themselves in a tricky situation when their father's girlfriend tries to come between them and their relationship with their dad.
The episode opens with Mona and Dee Dee preparing to celebrate their father's birthday. While they are busy in the kitchen, their father's girlfriend, Phyllis, shows up unexpectedly. Phyllis has never been particularly friendly towards Mona and Dee Dee, but they are still shocked when she reveals that she's planning a surprise party for their dad and didn't invite them. The sisters are hurt and angry, but they decide to put their feelings aside for the sake of their dad.
As the day of the party approaches, Mona and Dee Dee become increasingly worried about Phyllis's intentions.

At the party, the tension between Mona, Dee Dee, and Phyllis continues to grow. Phyllis seems intent on keeping the sisters apart, and they start to feel like they are walking on eggshells around her. Just when things couldn't get any worse, their dad announces that he is planning to propose to Phyllis that night.
Mona and Dee Dee are shocked and devastated. They can't believe that their father would consider marrying someone who is clearly trying to come between them. They decide to take matters into their own hands and hatch a plan to expose Phyllis's true motives.
The plan involves dressing up as each other and switching places at the party. This results in some hilariously awkward moments as Mona and Dee Dee try to pass themselves off as each other. But the plan works, and they are able to catch Phyllis in a lie.
In the end, their father realizes that he has been blinded by his infatuation with Phyllis and apologizes to Mona and Dee Dee. He breaks things off with Phyllis and promises to make things right with his daughters. The sisters are relieved and happy to be back on good terms with their dad.
