Plot[]

"The heart -- it is a physical organ, we all know. But how much more an emotional organ -- this we also know. Love, like blood, flows from the heart. Are blood and love related? Does a heart pump blood as it pumps love? Is love the blood of the universe?"

Margaret Lanterman[src]

Norma then brings Ed an extra serving of potatoes, and the doctor asks why Donna took the car to see James, and Ed explains she was taking him money.
