[edit] Plot Overview

Crystal runs into Roy's son R. J. and invites him to Roy's leap-year birthday party. Unfortunately, the father-and-son rift over R. J.'s homosexuality is widened when he invites his lover as well, and it may be another seven years before the two men talk to each other again...if ever.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

This was actor Abraham Benrubi's first appearance on Wings after winning the role of Jerry Markovic on ER, and his second as R. J. Biggins. It was also a role that challenged the typical gay stereotype perpetuated by shows like "Will and Grace," because few people could imagine that a 6'7", 300+ lb. man could be gay.

The episode was originally supposed to end with R. J. and his lover marrying, but NBC rejected the ending.
