A pleasant, fairy-tale kind of story in which Mike (John Forsythe), at the library, meets a beautiful Italian trying to place a telephone call to Waco, Texas. She's Anna Maria Alberghetti playing a famed ballerina, La Bella Eleanora, and they have a brief romantic fling that puts a twinkle in his eyes and makes his daughter Alison dream of her own kind of dreams.

Little Melanie Fullerton, as Pokey, gets a major share of this episode when she gets lost in the Eternal City trying to find her way to the Fountain of Trevi to retrieve a coin she tossed in it. Seems the coin may be valuable, and it belongs to Penny. But little Pokey only took it so that she could keep Alison, whose boyfriend is going back to Iowa, from being sad. You know the legend: toss a coin in the fountain, and you return to Rome.
