The Goldbergs: Episode 1462. Date: May 4, 1943. Cast: Gertrude Berg (Molly Goldberg); James R. Waters (Jake Goldberg); Roslyn Silber (Rosalie Goldberg); Alfred Ryder (Sammy Goldberg); Menasha Skulnik (Uncle David).

Announcer introduction: "Tonight... the situation at the Goldbergs is divided... Molly is head over heels in love with her new daughter-in-law... and Rosie Goldberg just doesn't like Grace... It's as plain as that. Molly, of course, when she heard that her son had married Grace just before being sent abroad... Molly opened her capacious heart to her new daughter and invited her to Lastenbury... but Rosie still feels that there is something queer about Grace... something that has to do with a neighboring farmhand named George. Both these strangers came from the same town, and Rosie suspects that they know each other, although they deny ever having met. While the Goldbergs were talking in Molly's bedroom, Grace was downstairs talking on the phone... late at night too. It was odd... Well... the night isn't over yet... and Molly has a thing or two to say... Listen.."

Announcer close: "Grace very nicely covered her conversation with George... but the invention is going to break havoc with Molly's imagination... for Molly is a great worrier and Grace has flung a seed of concern into a very fertile heart."
