In the first episode of a two-part story, Eileen Heckart guest stars as Rose, the opinionated, overbearing mother-in-law of widow Alice Hyatt (Linda Lavin). Having always regarded Rose's visits as a cause for alarm, Alice is prepared to spend a miserable weekend with her contentious in-law. But she isn't prepared for Rose's announcement that she has left her husband Charlie and intends to move in with Alice permanently! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
