not a big deal. She just forgot to let him know about the marriage. An honorable
man, Holling tells a confused Shelly that they cannot cohabitate until her divorce
is final, clearing the way for Wayne to woo Shelly once again.
Meanwhile, Ed struggles

Joel discovers a mole on Rick during a routine checkup and Rick panicks that it is his time to go, following Maggie's other doomed boyfriends. |
