Announcer introduction: "Rosie finally took matters in her own hands. She fought her new sister-in-law tooth and nail, despite all the pressure of Molly and Jake... Molly was convinced that Rosie was just jealous of Sammy's wife... but Rosie's actions were based on something far more solid and far more just...

Now listen... to what happened immediately afterwards..."

Announcer close: "Rosie's offer of the money is the one thing Grace wants if all her plans with George are still going through... unless the coming of the child is going to affect them... and there is no way for us to tell yet."
