"Ain't Miss Bahavian" is the second episode of the Disney Channel Original Series, Cory in the House.
[edit] Plot
This episode begins with the president, Mr. Martinez, introducing and welcoming Meena Paroom and her family to America. Victor Baxter, Cory’s father, believes Cory has a crush on Meena. But untruthfully, Cory dissents to his father's statement. The president’s daughter, Sophie, only wants to eat Chef Victor’s French fries. The president’s Chief of Staff, Samantha Samuels, tells Chef Victor not to feed Sophie French fries for breakfast. But he submits and gives Sophie what she wants.
At school, Meena’s father, the ambassador of Bahavia, returns Meena’s backpack. Mr. Paroom is very strict about preserving his culture, so Meena dresses up culturally when he comes, then returns back to a casual attire after he leaves. Sadly, Meena admits she hates to hide a big part of her life from her father.
Back at the White house, the president’s Chief of Staff wants Chef Victor to stop feeding Sophie French fries. So, Victor presents Sophie a farm made out of vegetables, but Sophie still wants her fries.
In another room of the White house, Cory, Meena, and Newt practice a new song Cory created called “More than Friends.” Unexpectedly, Mr. Paroom walks in and tells Cory that he is the reason why his daughter is not behaving like a Bahavian. Mr. Paroom demands Meena not to see Cory and Newt ever again. Meena has no choice but to respect her father’s wishes.
While Cory and Newt is stunned about Mr. Paroom’s decision, they agree to compromise with Meena’s father to change his mind. During a special dinner, which Meena’s family is invited to, Cory goes up to Mr. Paroom and greets him in a disrespectful way according to their beliefs and culture. Although Mr. Paroom is pleased that a Bahavian famous flute player performs at the dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Paroom are appalled and unpleased about what just happened to them. Even though the president is glad to see Sophie eating her vegetables, Mr. Paroom is fully insulted by Cory’s actions. But Meena is full of happiness, despite the incident.
The next day, while at school, Cory believes Meena is not going to show up, but Meena comes and she's gleeful that she does not have to keep secrets from her father anymore. Cory and Newt are grounded because of their parents believing they caused an “international crisis.”
Inside the kitchen, the president’s Chief of Staff tells Chef Victor that Sophie eats vegetables when she is distracted by excitement. In the end, Sophie realizes she's eating vegetables, but doesn’t care and resumes to enjoy the Bahavian music playing while Chef Victor and the president’s Chief of Staff dances to it.
