Description:
Nick Mulligan may be a lot of things, but he's not a great advisor for someone having relationship trouble...especially Connie. Connie is so uncertain about Mitch that Nick decides to give her some advice. Connie rebuffs Nick when Mitch enters and says that they need to talk. The two discuss their relationship. Connie isn't sure about it; she says she feels like she's dating the Pentagon with all the secrets. Mitch says to trust him and that everything will be answered in time. Mitch heads out, but forgets his briefcase. In the rush to try to get him, Connie and Nick drop his briefcase and a photo slips out. It's a photo of some girl...with a postmark from Chicago. Connie thinks she looks familiar, but Nick thinks the girl must be a former girlfriend. Connie decides that she's not losing Mitch to someone else. Nick suggests she try to figure out the hand in the lower part of the picture, but she has no luck despite going glove shopping. Nick then suggests that she subtly ask him about former girlfriends. When Connie follows his advice, Mitch says there was one girl back in Boston-Justine. Connie figures that Justine must be the one in the picture. Mitch describes Justine's sweetness, her red hair, and her tennis skills...which gives Connie an idea. The next day Connie comes into Whit's End with a new hair color. Nick laughs it off and Whit wonders about the change. Later Connie tries playing tennis with Mitch, but nearly breaks his nose in the process. Back at Mitch's apartment, Connie finally admits to Mitch that she was doing all this because she wanted to be like Justine. Mitch says that's silly and that Connie should just be herself. Then he shows her a picture of Justine and Connie is shocked. Its not the same person that she saw in Mitch's briefcase. At Whit's End, Connie ponders it. Who could that picture be? She knows that she recognized her. Then it hits her! It's...it's...the red-haired woman who put the hidden modem in Whit's office! She anxiously tells Whit. That afternoon it's time for another "Candid Conversations with Connie." This time, the guest is Mitch. Mitch notices that Connie is being very stiff in her questions, and then she interrogates him about secrets and trust. Before he realizes it, Mitch bursts out saying, "I think I'm falling in love with you, Connie!" Connie cuts to a commercial.
