Ruth Buzzi guest stars as Chloe, the much-talked-about by heretofore unseen wife of owlish diner patron Henry (Marvin Kaplan). After twenty years of wedded strife, Henry is surprised that his wife is treating him nicely--and concludes that she must be having an affair. To get even, Henry pretends to be engaged in an extramarital relationship of his own...and inasmuch as the name of the series is Alice, guess who's drafted to pose as the "other woman"? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Just when he thought it was safe to go into his apartment again, Mel (Vic Tayback) is descended upon by his overbearing mother Carrie (Martha Raye). It seems that mom's young husband Robert (Howard Witt), whom she wed a mere six months before, has walked out on her. Hoping to make the best of a bad situation, Mel prevails upon Carrie to forget her woes by helping out in his kitchen--specifically, by cooking up those yummy chicken pies which his patrons have been clamoring for since Mom's last visit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
