Detroit businessman Bob (Billy Gardell) and Nigerian-American nurse Abishola (Folake Olowofoyeku) take their romance to the next level in Season 2. “They’re getting engaged!” reveals the sitcom’s cocreator and executive producer Al Higgins. 

Bob enlists his girlfriend’s Uncle Tunde (Barry Shabaka Henley) to help pick out a ring…but the course of true love never does run smooth. Turns out Abishola is already married! Later in the season, her estranged husband pops up to complicate matters of the heart.  

Meanwhile, Bob’s brother Douglas (Matt Jones) gets demoted at the family’s compression socks business, leading to some tension with twin sister Christina (Maribeth Monroe). Says cocreator and exec producer GinaYashere, “She enjoys that she’s technically his boss now.
