Barbara Good is feeling a bit unfeminine.
First of all Jerry asks her to play mechanic to his car offering to pay her in 'pints' and Margo can't help but constantly remind her of how much she has let herself go since she started this self sufficiency regime. Even her own husband treats her like a 'bloke' and when a passing stranger mistakes her for a boy, the last straw has been broken.
Determined to prove to both her husband and herself that she is still a glamorous woman, she puts on her last posh frock and dolls herself up. However Tom is too preoccupied with his new methane filter to pay her much heed and to top every thing else of she accidentally tears her last smart dress on a protruding nail.
It seems her last vestige of femininity has been destroyed.
Tom tries to reassure her by telling her that posh dresses mean nothing, and its the person inside them that really counts. He says that beauty is on the inside more than anywhere else and that despite any ragged clothes she wears, Tom will only ever have eyes for her.
He almost has her convinced, but when Eileen, a glamour model and an old school friend of Barbara's comes to dinner, Tom literally drools over her, commenting on her dress and sexy figure. In fact he is as thorough in his pampering of Eileen as he has been in his neglect of Barbara.
Having the truth pointed out to him in a few choice words from Jerry, Tom realises he has to go a long way to get back into his wife's good books.
