Bianca asks Tony to marry her

As Whitney prepares for school, Tony isn't impressed with the length of her skirt and tells her to skip school. However, she says she's promised Peter that she'll learn her lines for the school play. Bianca calls work to inform them that she's going to have to stay at home because Morgan's ill. Tony realises that Whitney's heading home and tries to convince Bianca to go to work, but to no avail. As the doctor diagnoses Morgan with chicken pox, Whitney returns and is unimpressed to find Bianca and Tony together.

Later, Bianca tells Whitney of her intentions to marry Tony and wonders if she'll drop a few hints. When Bianca turns around, Whitney's gone. With Bianca out of the house, Whitney tells Tony about Bianca's dream of marrying him, but all Tony can think about is leaving with Whitney in three months. At this point, Whitney reveals the cash she kept behind from the lottery win. As Bianca tells Tony she wants them to get married, Whitney makes a quick escape and before she knows what's happening, Tony produces the lottery money Whitney gave him and tells them that it's their deposit for a house.

Bianca tells Whitney about the money but when she's left the room, Tony reassures her that it was to buy them some more time. Whitney's just about reached breaking point and tells Tony that she can't carry on the way they are anymore and is shocked when Tony tells her that he no longer loves her. He takes the postcard of Whitney's dream place out and rips it up.
