Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Driving home after a night out, Rob (Dick Van Dyke) can't understand why Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) is so angry that she refuses to speak to him. Recounting the events of the evening, Rob can only remember that he and Laura ran into Buddy (Morey Amsterdam), Pickles (Joan Shawlee), Sally (Rose Marie), and Herman Glimshire (Bill Idelson) at a restaurant. But wait, there was more. Although Rob hadn't eaten anything at Buddy and Sally's table, he'd insisted upon picking up the check. And that is what has got Laura steamed: using her own brand of logic, Rob's habitual "check-grabbing" is proof that he thinks no one really likes him!
