Has the long crescendo in the Ballad of Mike and Dalia reached its final climax? Did Katie choose that word on purpose to fluster Kimberly’s delicate sensibilities? Did you think, when you saw the title of this episode that this might be a recap of the fantastic 1973 film starring Robert Redford, Paul Newman and the incomparable Eileen Brennan?
