The Courtship of Eddie's Father: Eddie thinks Mrs. Livingston and Norman are in love with each other. He comes to this conclusion since Mrs. Livingston has been wearing new dresses when she knows Norman is coming over, she cooked a special meal when he did come over and Norman gave her a gift of love beads. Although he thinks the idea far fetched, Tom begins to think so as well and tells Norman of his and Eddie's thoughts. Norman is nervous about the idea and now nervous around Mrs. Livingston. Norman has an exploratory chat with Mrs. Livingston, after which he thinks Tom and Eddie have it all wrong - he thinks Mrs. Livingston is in love with Tom. Tom begins to think that perhaps Norman is right. On a day that Tom has to take an overnight business trip, Mrs. Livingston plans on staying overnight with Eddie, she sleeping in Tom's bed. Plans change for everyone when Norman takes Eddie for the night and the reason for Tom's trip get canceled, so eventually Tom and Mrs. Livingston spend the night together alone, innocently but nervously for Tom as he knows Mrs. Livingston, the woman he thinks is in love with him, is sleeping in his bed (Tom is sleeping in Eddie's room). The next morning, Tom thinks he better be direct with Mrs. Livingston, but before he can be, Mrs. Livingston wants to talk to Tom. She thinks that Tom is unhappy with her care-giving duties to Eddie as she has been preoccupied with thoughts of something else - someone else. That someone else is Mr. Namura, her new beau. Tom, somewhat relieved, tells Mrs. Livingston what he thought about her and him, and initially of her and Norman. Mrs. Livingston is in hysterics, as hysterical as reserved Mrs. Livingston can be.
