Corabeth (Ronnie Claire Edwards) "helpfully" lends the pregnant Cindy (Leslie Winston) a book on marriage titled "The Fastidious Wife." Following the advice dispensed in the book, Cindy begins catering to the every whim of her hardworking husband Ben -- and wears herself to a frazzle in the process. Meanwhile, John (Ralph Waite) comes to regret his decision to allow Jeffrey (Keith Mitchell) and Serena (Martha Nix) to adopt a cat named Harold...especially when "he" turns out to be a "she" in a rather dramatic fashion!
