Plot

Ray buys Debra an elaborate Christmas gift in the hope that she will be so impressed she will let him go on a weekend golf trip. It backfires when Debra gets him a better gift and willingly allows him to go to the golf trip. Ray then thinks that she has some ulterior motive and confronts her. He goes overboard and ends up losing the golfing trip and also gets stuck with all the household work.

Running Gags

• When Debra makes a joke about buying a "porn machine", Marie responds with "I don't like that, Debra." This is a twist on her usual catchphrase, "I don't like that, Raymond."

Quotes

• MARIE: What is a DVD player? Is it for pornography?
• DEBRA: Yes, Marie, I bought Ray a porn machine!
• MARIE: I don't like that, Debra.
