Every Bachelor Should Have a Family

Overview

Kate's widowed friend Vera Wilson has been dating Ronnie Beckman, a bookkeeper who moved to the valley five years ago. Kate wants to know when they're getting married, but Vera says the relationship is going very slowly and she doesn't want to seem pushy. Kate runs into Ronnie on the Cannonball. He tells her that he's not sure about marriage as he has always been alone. Floyd thinks that Kate and Ronnie are sweet on each other. Ronnie wants to stay at the hotel to see how happy real family life can be. When they arrive, the sisters are fighting. Kate tells them they have to look like a happy family in front of Ronnie. Uncle Joe thinks Ronnie wants to marry Kate for her money, so he talks down family life. Kate tells Ronnie that they were putting up a front and that they often fight. Ronnie is glad, as it wouldn't be natural to be that nice all the time.
