It was January 14: Operation Marriage Fixer.
After Congress was adjourned, Gerald told Arnold to meet him at Chez Paris at 6pm. Arnold reluctantly agreed. Gerald drove home to see if Phoebe persuaded Helga to Chez Paris. Helga reluctantly agreed as well. The plan was currently going well. As they drove Gerald Johannsen, Jr to his grandparents, they were wondering one thing: What happened to this couple who had it so well? After they dropped Gerald Jr. off at the Hyderdals, they went to Chez Paris. After Arnold and Helga arrived, they went to tables where Gerald and Phoebe were seated. They were pounded with a number of questions asking why they were there. Finally, after taking the pounding too much, Gerald exploded with anger. He constintly yelled at Arnold. Phoebe left with Gerald. In the middle of the night, Arnold said he wasn't going to get a divorce. Gerald was estatic to hear that.
Gerald told Phoebe the good news. After a near catastrophic event that could have ended a marriage. But it was prevented. The plan was a sucess.
