Announcer introduction: "The end of the whole situation is in sight, but just what meaning it will have for the Goldbergs, we still can't tell. Grace, during the ride to the station with George, suddenly revealed that she had torn up, not Rosie's check... but a piece of paper. George immediately turned the car back to the Goldberg house. Grace, in her anger and fear, grabbed the wheel,... and then it happened... they crashed into the big oak tree. Now Grace is resting upstairs and Molly is at last face to face with George and the secret of her daughter-in-law. She is holding the check George just gave back to her... the check that Molly thought Grace destroyed... and Molly wants to know... what, why, when, how... Listen..."
Announcer close: "But if David is fed up with keeping secrets that aren't his, Jake is the kind of man who knows what to do with secrets that should be his... and Jake is the kind of man who isn't afraid to punish people who have treated him badly... It looks like Molly will have a domestic tornado on her hands when she returns."
