Maggie
discovers the late Rick
was unfaithful and proceeds to distrust all men; Maurice's
tax indiscretion could destroy his relationship with Officer
Semanski; while Joel
is toted off to the woods to play marriage counselor to wildman-chef
extraordinaire Adam
and his hypochrondiacal wife, Eve. |
Synopsis: |
At
the unveiling of Rick's memorial statue, Maggie meets a woman she
never knew existed --Rick's other lover. Maggie goes on an anti-men
campaign, and gets herself incredibly drunk. Ruth-Anne
(Peg
Phillips) nurses her back from her hangover and teaches her
a valuable lesson about men. Maggie eventually comes to terms with
Rick's infidelity and suddenly the angst-ridden Joel starts to look
much better.
Adam pays a
midnight call on Joel, insisting Fleischman return with him to his
cabin to examine his wife Eve (guest star Valerie
Mahaffey), a hypochondriac of epic proportions. Irate with his
wife's litany of pseudo-symptoms, Adam storms off, leaving Joel
behind in the cabin. But Eve has other plans for the good doctor
-- she intends to keep Joel shackled to the cabin wall so she can
have a twenty-four-hour on-call physician. Adam returns, but only
to collect his things. Suddenly, Joel is forced to become a marriage
mediator, as his only way of escape is to get this odd couple back
together.
Maurice gives
state trooper Barbara Semanski engraved twin Browning handguns as
a token of his undying love. But when she discovers that Maurice
may have cheated on his income tax, Semanski, a staunch protector
of justice, refuses to have anything to do with him. |
