Episode 1

Counter Proposal

Fri, Sep 25, 197030 mins

Don is shopping for an engagement ring as he has decided to ask Ann to marry him. He loves the ring that he has picked out for her, which he has on hold at the jewelers, and hopes that Ann will love it too. However, his colleague Bob offers him a deal: a nicer ring at the same price. The catch?: the ring Bob is selling was the one he used to propose to his now ex-fiancée Betty. Don is of mixed emotions. He likes Bob's ring more, but he isn't sure if the sentiment of having another woman's ring from a failed relationship will bother him or Ann if she were ever to find out. He decides to buy Bob's ring with every intention of telling Ann of its background. Don finds it easier to ask Ann to marry him - to which she excitedly says yes - than about the ring's origins, which he doesn't divulge. With Don out of town on a business trip shortly thereafter, Bob comes to Ann to ask for the ring back since he and Betty are patching things up with the ring part of that patching things up. Bob's request sets in motion some actions by Ann to show or not to show Donald what she thinks about getting another girl's ring for what is perhaps the most important event of her life.
