Quite a touching episode with Aunt Harriet (Kay Medford) suddenly and reluctantly finding what may be some romance in her life. He is a doctor who has been called to treat Pokey. He proves a good doctor, has a great bedside manner with kids and a courtly, winning way with Harriet. But she gets a big, big surprise on their first real, dress-up date.

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.

To Rome With Love continues its pleasant ways. A young count, a student at Mike's school, is enchanted with Alison. She winds up being invited to the opening of the Rome Opera, but she really doesn't have anything to wear. Mike (John Forsythe) decides this is one moment that must be right for his daughter; so, he moonlights to buy her the dream dress she has admired.
