David Angell
Directed by:
Andy Ackerman
NBC Broadcast Date:
Part 1: February 11, 1993
and
Part 2: February 18, 1993
Part 1:
When Helen hears about auditions for the Nantucket String Quartet, it revives her aspirations of being a cellist. Unfortunately, she has no cello, thanks to the plane ditched at sea. Urged on by Brian, she takes on a second job at the fish packing plant to earn money for a new cello, but her happiness soon turns sour when she gets laid off. Disturbed at seeing her so unhappy, Brian convinces Joe to take out another mortgage on the the house to buy Helen a new cello, but to the two brothers’ shock she refuses the generous gift.
Meanwhile, Fay, Antonio, Roy, and Lowell get parts in the community theaters production of "The Phantom of the Oprah". All about a ghost haunting the The Oprah show, complete with Fay playing the role of Oprah Winfrey.
Part 2:
Helen is unhappy that the brothers are "coming to her rescue" with their gift, but they finally convince her to acccept the gift and go after the job in the Nantucket String Quartet. When the first choices of the String Quartet decline, she wins a place in the group. Helen's happiness is soon tempered by the strange quirks of her fellow musicians, but for the sake of the job Brian and Joe helped her get, she doesn't quit. But her first performance is ruined by the guy she replaced, when he returns and forces the disbanding of the quartet.
Meanwhile, after some not so stellar rehearsals, "Phantom of the Oprah" is canceled before the first performance.
