Storyline

Did Rob prove a husband can fool his wife by disguising his voice, or is Laura just playing along? Though Rob's Italian accent as suave Dr. Benno Benelli sounds more like Bela Lugosi, Laura makes a phone date with the charming imaginary physician. Which is more important to Rob, pride in his comic gifts or faith in Laura's fidelity?

Nevertheless, after Rob hangs up, he says they will finish work early, and Buddy asks, 'At 4:30?' even though he couldn't hear Laura change the time.
