Paul's admission that he returns Julie's feelings for him devastates Ann. Julie discusses living together with Paul, but he offers an alternative...marriage. Ann reminds Julie that she married Ed, Julie and Barbara's father, when she was the same age as Julie, and that marriage didn't work. Barbara and Julie debate the pros and cons of marriage to a much older man, and Julie admits that it's a step that frightens her. Later, Julie overhears Paul's impassioned speech to Ann about her daughter's qualities. Julie agrees to marry Paul, just as the phone rings. It's Ed. Ann takes the phone and tells her ex-husband that there's something he should know.
