227

Mary gives honesty a beating after she backs into a neighbor's parked car and then calls upon her "man-wise" nemesis Sandra to use her feminine wiles to calm the handsome man's anger.

Mary fires Cupid's arrow at her brother Lewis and best friend Rose, but she misses the mark when Lewis sets his own sights on resident vamp Sandra.

Brenda's genealogy assignment triggers a war between her mother Mary and neighbor Sandra over famous ancestors--but Mary's pride soon goes AWOL when she learns her family tree has root rot.

After Mary's refrigerator breaks down, her sly and opportunistic neighbor Sandra readily agrees to use her "influence" on their stingy landlord to get her a new one -- in exchange for Mary lending her apartment to Sandra for one of her "small gatherings."

Both Mary and Sandra get a different view of womanhood when housewife Mary attempts to rekindle lost love by "steppin' out" with husband Lester, while party-happy Sandra is homebound with her six-year-old niece for the weekend.

Mary may be faced with eviction when 227's stingy landlord dies, and her nemesis Sandra is in line to inherit the building.
