Sally meets a suave Italian-American man at a restaurant. He woos her, and when she learns he goes by the name of Sammy \”\”The Butcher\”\” Marchetti, she and Tommy are thrilled because they assume he

’s a mobster. Sammy asks Tommy to run errands for him, and Tommy\’s excited to be working as — he assumes — a bag man for the Mob. When Sally and Tommy learn that Sam\’s not actually a Mafioso but a real butcher, his appeal fades, and they both lose interest in him. Mary, concerned that she and Dick need to work on their communication skills, convinces him to go to a couples retreat. To her dismay, her good intentions get turned around as everyone there — including Harry and Vicki, the poster children for public displays of affection — embraces Dick for his openness, and criticizes Mary for her emotional unavailability.
