Caroline and the Bitter Beast

In Richards alten Sachen tauchen Noten auf, auf denen eine berühmte Filmmelodie basiert. Richard behauptet, das Lied selbst geschrieben zu haben. Allem Anschein nach hat sein damaliger Lehrer die Komposition gestohlen und damit viel Geld gemacht. Caroline trifft Trevor wieder, doch auch diesmal wird ihre Verabredung empfindlich gestört.

When Annie discovers an old musical notebook among the possessions Richard wants to store in Caroline's locker, teasing leads to genuine surprise when one of Richard's compositions turns out to be the tune to ""The Way We Were,"" which won a Grammy award for Richard's summer camp instructor, Marvin Hamlisch. With Annie pretending to be his legal counsel, Richard braves Hamlisch's ferociously protective housekeeper Olga and steals the trophy, then begins hostage negotiations. Meanwhile, Caroline encounters her former blind date Trevor and they resume a relationship, complicated by Trevor's German Shepherd who remains stubbornly loyal to Trevor's former girlfriend.
