synopsis
The impressionable Vera (Beth Howland) has fallen in love again. This time the lucky man is Jerry (Tom Poston), a middle-aged mortician. But things may not be as idyllic as Vera imagines they are: there's a strong likelihood that Jerry is already married. Once Alice (Linda Lavin) is in possession of what she thinks are all the facts, she must figure out a way to gently break the news without once more breaking Vera's notoriously fragile heart.
