"The Second Time Around" --
Tensions escalate as the wedding day nears for Lily and Rick.

They've planned an extravagant affair, but intensifying personal and financial concerns are giving the couple second thoughts. For openers, the bride-to-be gets distressing news from her ex about the restaurant he took over from her late father, Phil (Paul Mazursky, who reappears to Lily in bittersweet, dreamlike scenes). And the bridegroom-to-be, who's just lost a huge contract, wonders: Is he "Panicked? Pressured? Poor?" Or maybe just "exhausted." It all seems overwhelming, but somehow, in the end, it leads to a resolution that's both tender and touching. Will Gluck: Mark Valley. Barbara Brooks: Bonnie Bartlett. Amanda: Christina Chang.
