Agreed. This melodramatic stuff is a notch below the CBSRMT's regular fare. A love story with flawed lovers. No supernatural elements.

Not sure why, but I can't stand Patricia Elliott's voice or mannerisms, especially her Diane character in this episode, who comes across as cold and haughty. The plot leaves a lot to be desired as well. Why should she get mad at him for being jealous when she never made it clear to him whether she had an affair or not? This relationship is doomed to fail, whether they get together at the end of this story or not.

☆☆☆☆ "A lil diddy 'bout Gary & Diane..."
An excellent love story about a couple who probably shouldn't be together, but they can't help themselves. These two reminded me of Heathcliff & Catherine in "Wuthering Heights".
Fun fact: EG slut-shames Diane in his conclusion after Act 2
Best quote:
"I've been thinking..."--Gary
"A dangerous occupation."--Diane
