Hotelmanager Peter McDermott hat Geburtstag. Zu seiner Verblüffung taucht Ex-Gattin Janet auf, um ihm zu gratulieren. Peter weiß nicht, wie er das interpretieren soll. Christine und Mark kümmern sich indessen um eine einsame junge Frau, die von ihrer Schwester und deren Freund ausgenutzt wird.

Peter is torn between fear and desire when his ex-wife Janet arrives at the hotel and is determined to reconcile and prove she is no longer an alcoholic. After setbacks prompt Janet to drink again, Peter has to rescue her from a suicide attempt. Janet decides to leave the next morning. She tells Peter about a special anniversary cake the members of Alcoholics Anonymous receive after one year sober. Peter promises to help her celebrate that anniversary. Penny sets up her sister Nancy Domenico with a blind date, who stands her up when he sees that she's rather plain. After Christine urges Mark to find her a date, Mark promises Leo Cooney, a hotel worker, two Saturdays for taking Nancy out. Despite that the date goes well, Nancy learns that Leo was bribed, and she runs away. However, Leo finds her and they reconcile. An elderly couple, Donald Brakwell and Edith Krause sneak away from a retirement home and use their son's credit card to live it up.
