Announcer introduction: "You know the main trouble with being too clever... is that cleverness involves tricks and traps... And tricks and traps are a game that two can play as well as one. Rosie Goldberg is being too smart for her own good now... she suspects that her sister-in-law Grace is somehow rather suspiciously connected with a young neighbor George. So Rosie instead of driving the thing out into the open with her parents... has decided to play up to George and make Grace jealous. Well, unfortunately Grace and George planned the same thing in reverse... using George to take Rosie's mind off things. And now it's working out in a most peculiar way. Listen..."

Announcer close: "Well, the giant squeeze is on... but it does seem that Molly and Jake are the ones who are being hurt. Despite Rosie's game... and Grace's deeper plan."
