Mama Bloom gives her daughters advice about greeting their husbands when they come home from work. She coaches them on the need further man to relax once he gets home. Also, it’s okay to dress up when they go out, but staying at home could be another story. The ladies try their hand at rearranging furniture.

When Jake gets home, he gives his thoughts on the practicality of their rearrange furniture. As usual, Jake is famished. Will Becky be able to convince him to go out for dinner? As she goes about the task of convincing, Sarah leaves to get home to her own husband.

Jake finds an old hat and a surprise that Becky wants to throw it out. He claims it’s only five years old, but she claims it’s a hat he wore when he took out Ida Goldfarb 25 years ago. In they look over other trinkets that bring back fond memories of their long marriage together. They look through the family photo album and discuss relatives in pictures of their children when they were young. When Jake mistakes a picture of Ida Goldfarb for his young bride, it’s about time to butter Becky up with a night out at a restaurant.
