What happens
Vic Cook tells his wife Sade and son Rush that he has been chosen to appear on the cover of the Kitchenware Dealers Quarterly, a magazine published for consolidated kitchenware. The honor is part of a series featuring company personnel, and Vic is eager to share the news with family and friends. Sade and Rush react with a mix of pride and teasing, and the family discusses whether Vic should wear his dark suit or his desk-working clothes for the photograph. Questions about the order of the pictures and the timing of the issue come up, and the conversation gradually turns to how long the wait will be.
The living room of the Cook family's small house in the evening, with Vic at the library table and Rush on the davenport.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
