Paul Picerni guest stars as Vinny Randazzo, a lifelong friend of widowed waitress Alice Hyatt (Linda Lavin). When Vinny shows up to propose marriage to Alice, the prospect seems mighty tempting, especially since Vinny will be able to provide a financially secure future for her son Tommy (Philip McKeon). There's only one minor drawback: Alice doesn't love Vinny...and never has. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
