...DIED. JOHN BALDRY, 64, British blues-rock singer who influenced some of the biggest names in British music, from Mick Jagger to Rod Stewart to Elton John; of a severe chest infection; in Vancouver, British Columbia.

These unhappy times require that Oliver and Emily meet up and go on some terribly awkward dates, where, in frighteningly ill-timed bouts of physical comedy, they each put inanimate objects up their respective noses. When Emily finally gets engaged to Ben (Jeremy Sisto, who played Elton in “Clueless”), Oliver must confront his complicated feelings towards her, and eventually does so by going to her house and singing Bon Jovi. Wait, I think that’s how my parents got together...
...private life. There is much about debts and the obstacles that keep Paul from success. There is something about injuries that Liz suffered in a plane crash and oblique details about an international business deal with geopolitical implications. Booth is in public relations. His clients include the Rev. Elton Ude, founder of the Wayne Fickert Bible College and leader of an evangelical movement in Africa, and a mining company interested in mineral deposits in the area where Ude is harvesting souls.
