Elsewhere, Gracie admires her big, strong, dream man, George. Is she buttering him up to soften the blow about a fender bender she kinda had in the car? Will she be giving away any secrets when Ida arrives to ask for advice in being a housewife? Gracie gives a talk on the birds and the bees. Bill Goodwin shows up to help with the advanced training for Ida. That means he's going to lay on the sponsor message.
