Game of the Week begins with Kat and her husband, Rudy, have invited Rudy’s friend Steve and his wife, Alicia, for a long overdue game night. While Kat is making cookies, Alicia asks her about her recovery from her stay in a psychiatric ward. When they return to the game, Steve interupts Rudy’s explanation of the rules to chastise his wife for asking such a rude question. A long argument ensues. This results in Steve and Alicia leaving before the game begins. A further argument occurs between Kat and Rudy until Kat gets a text message that humorously unites them.
