While on vacation in New York, Rhoda meets a man (Joe) and she decides not to return to Minneapolis.
Rhoda has difficulty finding an apartment in New York City and finally moves into the one place she never even considered--her parents' apartment.
Rhoda's smooth romance with Joe gets a little bumpy when he decides it might be best if the two of them begin dating other people as well as each other.
Rhoda and Joe decide to set aside one day to tackle the generation gap, and schedule lunch with his parents and dinner with hers.
Rhoda lands a job with a small publishing firm and ends up delivering the eulogy at the funeral of an author whose specialty was X-rated books.
Joe pops the question, but it's not exactly the one Rhoda wants to hear. Instead of "Will you marry me?" it's "How about living together?"
