Liz takes up sculpture and hires a model. As we look in on 321 Bundy Drive, Sheridan Falls, it's late afternoon. Liz is just arriving home from her club meeting, and is met at the door by George. Liz has had a very educational day at the club today. They had a lecture on older people and how they can be kept happy and useful, but as Liz has no hobbies, the lecturer pointed out that she's on a slippery slope to being lonely and unhappy when she gets older. So she's going to get a hobby!
The comfortable front bedroom of the comfortable suburban home of the Cugat's doesn't look very comfortable this morning. Articles of clothing are strewn across the floor and across the bed. George hurriedly ploughs through the debris getting dressed while Liz tries to cram all of their things in to three suitcases.
Adolescent Sally Hopkins can't get a date for the party, so Liz volunteers husband George. As we look in on the Coopers this morning, something new has been added. There is a moving van in front of the house next door, but of course the new neighbors don't interest Liz Cooper in the least...
As we look in on lazy little Sheridan Falls, the hometown of the Coopers we find many signs that summer's over. The leaves are turning red, the Coopers are turning their faces toward home after their summer vacation and Liz is hoping all her friends will turn green when they see how she has turned brown...
Liz and Iris are determined to learn how to play baseball. It's the Bank's day out on Sunday and the employees of the bank have been divided in to baseball teams and George is captain of one of them and Mt Atturbury is captain of the other one. However they won't be playing this year as a new rule means that you can't play unless your wife plays. Liz and Iris take it upon themselves to ring the bank and put themselves forward even though they know very little about baseball!
