When they reflect out loud if they hadn't met at a blind date they would never have gotten married, the tv program shows them that they would have got together as the result of a fender bender. When they suppose that the car accident had not occurred, the tv program shows them that they would have gotten together from an encounter at a movie theater. The two realize fate brought them together and resolve to stop sniping at each other. They are shocked when they glance behind the set and realize that the tv is not plugged in. |
