Storyline

Edit

Over Laura's strong objections, Rob insists on keeping an early morning golfing date despite damp, wet conditions -- on the same day as a dinner party Laura is having for her relatives. Then as he begins to feel sicker and sicker, Rob must put on a positive face for the party rather than admit she was right that he should have skipped the golf game. —aldanoli

Goofs
When Laura put the gallon of ice cream in the freezer, there was just enough room for it. A few minutes later, when Millie brought two bowls of ice cubes, Rob opened the freezer to put them in it and the ice cream was gone, so he put the ice cubes where it had been.

Quotes

Laura Petrie: [with false civility] Hi.
Rob Petrie: I was so proud. I dressed, I shaved, and I packed, and I got out without wakin' you up.
Laura Petrie: And you were so proud, you had to come back and tell me, huh?
