) after a roller-coaster relationship, Joan is there again to pick up the pieces. But Laurie doesn't need to be picked up for very long: she meets Mark (Mark Dobies), a handsome man who owns a fish store.

Laurie and Mark decide to get married, which pushes a psychotic Michael over the edge and forces Joan to make some kind of decision.
