After receiving Bob’s letter from Philadelphia, Marj warns of seductive dangers lurking in big city cocktail lounges, and scolds him (jokingly, mind you) for writing it in his underwear. While on the subject of said paramour, she daydreams about his homecoming, only to fret that work might keep her away when the time comes. She ends on a happier note by recounting the tale of last night’s babysitting and announcing that Dad is back from the hospital.
