Tom is sent to Germany and to help relieve the boredom while he is gone, Sheila starts acting in a local play. She is crushed when she learns that Tom is back in town, but hasn't come by to see her. Actually, he had come by, but he overheard her rehearsing her line "I love you, Derek. For ever and ever!" and thought it was real.
