Synopsis
Nora has been going steady with Jack for a while, and thinks she may be in love with him. Her mom, apparently sensing that her virginal little daughter is about ready to do the wild thing with the by now horny-as-a-sailor Jack, desperately tries to convince her that she's "too young to know". Nora decides to go out on a double date with her older brother and his fiancé, to see if her and Jack's relationship is as "mature" as her brother's.
