That's the theory of Sally Fields' aunt Eve Arden in this episode where she shows up for a visit and causes lots of problems within half an hour, blowing in like a hurricane. She's basically a broke Auntie Mame who's exploits have landed her in hot water on various fronts, and she sets her sights on John Davidson's boss, William Windom, planning to marry him for his money. A complicated subplot involving Arden and some Japanese businessmen throws the whole episode into a tizzy. The glamorous Eve Arden is always a pleasure to watch, but this show as a whole obviously wasn't meant to be, bringing on an occasional smile but few laughs.

Cities don't last. Nations don't last. How can a marriage possibly last?
