The Courtship of Eddie's Father
Who Pulled the Blues Right Out of the Horn
S1 E15:
Conflicting emotions arise when Tom's (Bill Bixby) sister-in-law, Eddie's (Brandon Cruz) Aunt Kate (Francine York), arrives in town unexpectedly. Tom remembers her as an almost twin image of his wife, Helen, but hasn't seen her since she moved to Europe, before Eddie was born. To his surprise, Kate has turned into a flamboyant individualist who captivates Eddie, but angers Tom, who doesn't want his son to think his mother was like that. A touching moment between Kate and Eddie makes him realize that the only real problem has been his own still painful memories.
