Here's an update for the last new show of the season:


JEFF AND GINGER

The show starts off with Jeff asking the coach for advice on how to stay
celibate during the 6 months until his wedding.  Coach says that he hasn't
had any experience with that personally, but he knew a fellow who did. "Is
he still alive?" asks Jeff ;).  Yes, but he went insane from trying to stay
celibate too long.  Meanwhile Ginger is asking the priest for advice on the 
same problem.  The coach and the priest give them the same advice - avoid each
other as much as possible and concentrate on other things.  Since Jeff and 
Ginger are helping Anne get ready for the wedding, they are constantly running
into each other and even get accidentally locked into the church storeroom
for several hours.  They manage not to give in to their urges, though, until
after the wedding (Hmmm.  Seems like they only boink after weddings.  If I were
them, I would beg to be invited to as many as possible in the next 6 months).
Unfortunately, before they get anywhere, Ginger realizes that the only reason
why Father Dreier would agree to marry Anne and Al so quickly is because she 
must be pregnant.  Jeff pulls out a rubber and says that won't be a problem in
their case.  Then Ginger gets upset because using contraception will make their
sin 4 times worse. (Why is she worrying about this?  She's already going to 
hell for boinking Jeff the last time, so she might as well enjoy herself)


ABE AND GLORIA

They bought their restaurant and are very happy.  Robert announces that he wants
to go to France to find his lost love.  Grandma and Abe are upset about this
because she is white, but Gloria is happy for him.  Later she explains to Abe
that they raised Robert to look beyond the color of a person's skin and that
it would be hypocritcal to get angry with him for falling in love with someone
of a different race, even though it will be difficult for Robert and his 
beloved.  Also, she said something about Abe's mother not wanting him to marry
her because she was a dark-skinned black, but that skin color hadn't mattered
to Abe then.  Robert leaves for France


CHARLIE, CAROLINE, AND GINA

Charlie buys a new chest of drawers for Caroline as a suprise.  While moving
her things from the old chest to the new chest, he discovers her savings
passbook, which shows a lot of money deposited in her account.  He is upset
and goes to the bar, only to be told by bar-fly Hank that according to rumors,
Caroline was the spy for the Sloanes in the labor dispute.  Back home, he goes
into the bathroom and starts crying.  Gina hears him and asks what's wrong.
Charlie tells her what he's found out about Caroline.  Gina starts to defend
her with that excuse about the war, but Charlie says that won't cut it anymore.
they look like they're about to kiss when they are interrupted by a little cry
from Emma.  The next morning, Charlie tells Caroline that he knows all about 
her lies and that he is leaving her.  The next time we see him, he is at the
bar at closing time, pouring his heart out to Judy.  She suggests that he
spend the night with her to cheer each other up.  They kiss, but there is a
knock at the door.  It's Gina, holding Emma, saying that she had been worried
about Charlie. 
 

HANK

The day of the wedding, Hank seems to have had a change of heart. He is all
dressed up in his good uniform and is very cheerful.  He tells Anne that he
feels like riding his bike to the church and will meet them there.  20 minutes
after the wedding was supposed to have started, he still hasn't shown up.  
Jeff goes to look for him, and finds him by the riverside with a gun.  Jeff
says he knows how upset he is about all the things that have gone wrong since
Hank got back from the war, but that he (Jeff) is sick of losing the people
he loves.  He also points out that some things are getting better again.  Hank's
favorite restaurant, which went out of business during the war, is opening up
again.  If Hank can get a chicken-fried steak again, life can't be all that bad.
Hank decides that maybe suicide isn't the answer after all.  He returns
to the wedding and gives Anne away.  Afterwards, he is strolling around town
and stops by his favorite restaurant, which isn't quite open for business yet.
But guess who owns it?! Abe and Gloria!  He tells them how much he is looking
forward to getting a chicken-fried steak there again, but they tell him that
until the business is established they won't be able to afford to put red meat 
on the menu or keep the place open except on weekends.  Oh well.  They invite
him in to try some peach cobbler for free, though.  He insists on paying, and
becomes their first customer.

ANNE AND AL

After the wedding, they are in bed and glowingly happy.  Anne pulls out a lttle
gift for Al, which turns out to be a watch.  He also has a present for her -
a box of cookies!



That's all I can remember offhand.  Please feel free to fill in the parts I 
forgot.
