Synopsis
In "Best Ex-Friends," written by Chris Vane and Jill Baer, Isaac's new involvement with an enthralling but incompetent barmaid (Eugenia Wright) hinders his better judgement. When Gopher asks him to fire her, Isaac refuses to cooperate, so Gopher fires Isaac. In "All the Congressman's Women," written by Lisa Bannick, a Congressman (Sam Groom) and his fiancee (Phyllis Davis) are joined by his young daughter (Tori Spelling) on what they had planned to be a romantic getaway. It was the best precaution to take because he has received letters threatening the life of his daughter. But the scare intensifies when he receives more notes on board the ship. In "Three Faces of Love," written by David Swift, a makeup man (Sal Viscuso) and his actress girlfriend (Heidi Bohay) are destined for Mexico to shoot a movie, but his habit of disguising himself as other men to test her finally drives her to exasperation.
