Towards the end of the episode, when the conversation turned to love life, the 48-year-old actress wondered why, despite his kindness, Shore was not in a relationship with someone.
"It's very, very difficult for me to have a girlfriend because it's hard for me to let love in because I'm scared to get hurt," Shore said.

When the host probed further, Pauly elaborated that he was looking for the right person, and wanted more than just a physical relationship. He later brought up his mother, the late Mitzi Shore, a long-time idol of Drew Barrymore, stating that she was not happy when Barrymore married Tom Green back in 2002.
Shocked and confused, the 48-year-old actress remarked, "That's how Mitzi felt?" to which Pauly immediately responded, "No, that's how I feel too." Shore then proceeded to pull out a ring with a large white jewel, whilst dropping down on one knee and stated:

"And that's why I came here tonight, on this glorious night, to present you with a ring."
A visibly surprised and smiling Barrymore then questioned whether Pauly Shore was proposing, to which he responded in the affirmative. Laughing, she took the "amazing engagement" ring and put it on her finger. However, she did not immediately give her answer and asked the viewers to wait for the next episode.
