The Goldbergs had decided that Grace was completely gone out of their lives, and then suddenly the car drove up towards them. On the way to the station George had decided that he and Grace should return Rosie's check, and despite Grace's rage, turned the car around. In her fury she grabbed the wheel... and then it happened... the car hit the big tree in the yard... and the question is... the great question is... is this the end or a beginning... Listen..."
Announcer close: "No one, nothing could straighten out Molly's thoughts and feelings. She holds the check that she thought was destroyed... Grace is upstairs... and now she feels, she knows there's more... much more involving her and her son..."
