Drastic
tension between Maggie
and Joel;
Maurice
is unhappy when Chris
saves his life; Ed
is intrigued by death. |
Synopsis: |
Victim
of the cohos, unseasonable winds that incite people to violence,
Maggie breaks Joel's nose arguing over a game. Despite his truce
offer, a fight ensues.
Chris
prevents Maurice from blowing off a roof. Thinking himself in debt
to Chris, Maurice tries to free his conscience with a check for
$30,000. As Chris decides where to donate the money, Maurice stops
the check, having concluded the fall wouldn't really have killed
him.
Shelly
and Holling
worry when Ed begins asking people's opinions on ways to die. |
Details
(Production Bible): |
Marilyn
stays home until the Coho winds subside. Joel contacts the offices
of "Hoberman and Hoberman." (Josh's [Brand] attorney/buddy
is Tom Hoberman.)
Differently-abled
viewers called in to protest Maurice's line, "What about
paraplegia? There's always the possibility of spinal cord damage
-- God knows I'd rather end it all with a 9 millimeter slug than
face life in a wheelchair ..."
Joel
and Maggie agree although the sex between them was fabulous, it
was an insane, isolated instance prompted by the Coho winds. |

(Thanks
to fan Doug B for starting this). |
Greta
Garbo in Anna
Karenina (1935); Warren Beatty in McCabe
& Mrs. Miller (1971).
“Seeing
Maurice almost go splat got me thinking about death,”
Ed writes to Cicelians in an open letter read over the KBHR airwaves
by Chris. “Like when Greta Garbo threw herself under the
St. Petersburg Express in Anna Karenina…or Warren Beatty freezing
to death in McCabe and Mrs. Miller, hunched over in the snow. He
just stopped.” |
