On the series[]

Elyse Keaton decides to set Liz up with Terry Bridgeman, not realizing until too late that she already has a boyfriend. Unfortunately, Liz has a hard time telling men that she isn't single, and she lets Terry think he has a chance with her. Terry is overjoyed, thinking he's met the girl of his dreams. Liz soon becomes attracted to Terry and decides to break up with her previous boyfriend. She doesn't tell Terry because she's afraid he'd react badly. At a work party, Elyse tells Terry that Liz already has a boyfriend, not knowing that Liz is breaking up with him. Terry runs out of the party. That night, Terry and Liz meet again at the Keaton family's house, where Liz assures Terry that she wasn't just leading him on, and Terry tells Liz that he still wants to see her. The two of them go to Guido's to talk it out.
