Complete story — includes the ending
Christine and Max have been dating for three weeks when at dinner she lets out that she loves him. Max does not say it back and when she receives a text message from an old boyfriend, Mr. Harris (guest star Blair Underwood ), he even dares her to go out with him saying they have not said they are exclusive yet. Christine takes the dare and sets up a date with Mr. Harris who everyone, especially Matthew, thinks is gorgeous. As soon as Christine leaves for the date, Max shows up at Christine's house and admits to Matthew that he really does love Christine but wanted to give her "space" since he has ruined many relationships before because he latched on too fast. Matthew, Richard and Barb take Max to find Christine. Meanwhile, Christine is on her date with the stunning Mr. Harris but all she can talk about is Max. Mr. Harris admits he only asked Christine on this date to make his ex-girlfriend jealous and both of them work to forget their significant others but realize they no longer have any spark between them, when Max suddenly shows up and confesses that he loves her.
