Tom and Roy are devastated when they discover that Sally has fallen in love with Mark, an old flame from her past and, to make matters worse, the younger and physically impressive Mark moves in with Sally.
When Roy befriends Mark, it looks like Tom might lose not only any hope he had of getting together with Sally but also his best friend. And as if that wasn't bad enough, Amber is demanding to know why her father has never told her that he loves her.
Later, Amber and Sally bond over their shared interest in acting and love of the poetry of WH Auden. Little does Tom know that his boast to know Auden's Funeral Blues off by heart will come back to haunt him.
