8/10
From Alex's View
11 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this episode and saw Alex's view of it. A romantic story of a girl Ellen, who has two pursuers, Alex and Dennis. Ellen has accepted Dennis' Marriage proposal and is planning to marry him immediately, that weekend in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. So she is taking a train that night to Lancaster.

We did not see Dennis' view of the situation.

When Alex drives 7 hours across two states to try to beat Ellen's train into Lancaster, he believes that all he needs to do is tell Ellen how he feels, because he has not yet done so. Somehow Alex telling Ellen that he loves her, will change everything.

However, prior to that Alex also had thoughts of enjoying a big gathering that night of the Economics Faculty in a Tuxedo with another girl, his girlfriend Trish, and forgetting all about Ellen.

Actually neither of those results are realistic.

If you watch this, think about how this situation looks from the unseen and unheard Dennis' view.

This episode also gave us the often heard song "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and The Beaters which was a good song..
