After auditioning for a small one-line walk-on part for a stage production of "Gypsy", Ann is excited not only to get the part, but to be chosen specifically by the production's leading lady, Ethel Merman. Ann thinks that Miss Merman may regret her decision when Ann acts more like a star struck fan than a professional actress during rehearsals. As such, Ann tries to avoid Miss Merman when they aren't rehearsing on stage. But when Donald and Ann see Miss Merman eating dinner alone in her dressing room, Donald, on a whim, asks her if she would like to join him and Ann for dinner at Ann's apartment. This act mortifies Ann, as her star struck self wouldn't even think that someone of Ethel Merman's celebrity status would even consider it. To Ann's surprise, Miss Merman not only says yes, but offers to cook dinner for them. Beyond the true star struck fans from Ann's apartment building descending on her apartment during the evening to catch a glimpse of Ethel Merman, Ann sees that a celebrity such as Ethel Merman is just a human being who has human foibles such as putting too much pepper in her stuffed cabbages.

Of the twelve publishers Don has sent the manuscript of his novel, he has received twelve rejection letters. These twelve letters may mean that Ann will never be able to read the novel as Donald won't let her until it's published. Regardless, Ann staunchly defends the novel as great American literature. When Mr. Marie finds out about the situation, he, on Donald's behalf, offers to submit the manuscript to a publisher friend of his, T.L. Harrison, a Brewster resident and frequent customer at his restaurant. Donald and Ann are grateful. Mr. Marie, however, changes his mind after he himself reads the manuscript, as he considers the novel's two main characters - a writer and an actress - reprehensible, the two characters which he believes are Donald and Ann in real life. Mr. Marie's refusal to show the manuscript to Harrison leads to two things: a want by Ann to read the manuscript (or at least what her father considers the offensive parts) to see what her father's objections are, and an attempt by Ann to get the manuscript to Harrison personally with or without her father's knowledge.

What gets him into more hot water with Ann is that he agrees with what the manual says about her, and further that his interpretation of another ink blot means that he is kind and considerate, making them fundamentally incompatible. Jerry and Ruthie get in on the ink blot interpretation act, which results in Ann and Ruthie not wanting to talk to Donald and wanting to break up with their respective partner because of that incompatibility.
