synopsis
Vera (Linda Lavin) becomes addicted to TV soap operas, so much so that begins to neglect her work. When Mel (Vic Tayback) informs her that she'll have to choose between her job and her soaps, Vera wastes no time making her decision--and quits on the spot. Elsewhere, regular diner customer Henry (Marvin Kaplan) has some really big news for the gang.
