Rags becomes ecstatic when he and Shushu meets Jai, and they invites him and Heather onto the set of the show to watch him. Against Heather's express wishes, Shushu leaks the relationship onto the Internet and Rags leaking the news on social media, resulting in a media circus and the claim that Jai is a bisexual. Attempting to break off the relationship, Heather realizes that Jai is a well-educated, articulate and rather accomplished man who hides his intelligence from the public as American society derides intelligent men. In fact, he is one of the most intelligent men Heather has ever met. Heather invites him for dinner with the family, where [[Angie Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Angie]] and [[Tom Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Tom]] become interested in his accomplishments while [[Ava Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Ava]] isn't fond of his lectures. However Heather soon becomes even more uncomfortable with the relationship when she cannot keep up with his intelligence and tries comparing herself to Jai.
