Without asking, Lindsey invites Susannah to join them for dinner. Lindsey is a big fan of Susannah's show, which Toby never heard of, let alone seen. As the neighbors become acquainted with one another, they fall in love. However, Lindsey has problems and does not want to share her beloved new friend with her Dr. Dad.
