What happens

In the living room of the small house halfway up the next block, Sade Cook has just finished a phone call with Ruthie and is annoyed that her husband Vic has been unhelpful. Their card game plans are interrupted when Uncle Fletcher arrives unexpectedly. He announces he plans to visit friends at the Brighton Kentucky Hotel by crossing the railroad yards at night, which worries Sade. Uncle Fletcher is also eager to show off his collection of watch fobs, which Sade and Vic regard as an unwelcome interruption to their evening. The family works out a way to steer him elsewhere.

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.
