synopsis
Newly married Vera (Beth Howland) and Elliot (Charles Levin) receive a brand-new piano as a wedding gift. Once the piano arrives, Elliot is unable to leave it alone, and as he plays the days away Vera pines away. Or, as it was so delicately phrased in the original TV Guide ad for this episode, "Why is Vera's husband tickling the ivories instead of her?"
