[edit] Summary

Connie hears the story of how Whit and Jenny met in college.

[edit] Plot

On a rainy spring day in Odyssey, Whit and Connie stop by the J & J Antique Gallery to pick up some paintings for the Treasure Room. In the process, Jack gives Whit a first edition of The Allegory of Love by C. S. Lewis. Whit is speechless. Connie urges Jack and Whit to tell her what this is all about. Whit and Jack tell her the whole story of how Whit met his wife Jenny at the Pasadena Library while they were in college. Whit and Jenny got off on the wrong foot. Whit had gone to see her lecture about C. S. Lewis just to see how bad it would be. Afterward when the two of them went for coffee, Jenny revealed she was dating someone else. Jack invited Whit to a basketball game that evening and Whit found that the person Jenny was dating was Jack! At the game, Whit and Jenny talked while Jack struggled to get in a word. The two of them met for weeks afterward, Whit helping Jenny with her writing and Jenny helping Whit with his public speaking. After one of Whit's speeches, Jenny tells Whit about a problem. She loves Jack as a friend, but no more. Whit advises her to be kind. Jack and Jenny go out to dinner that evening and Jack reads her a portion of a letter telling her how much he loves her. Jenny feels overwhelmed and doesn't say anything more to Jack. The story continues in part II...

[edit] Cast

[edit] Notes

• This episode likely was inspired by two previous episodes. The first was The Mortal Coil Part 1, where we hear a quick previously unheard line where Whit and Jenny are introduced to each other (that line is used in context in this episode). The second episode that likely provided inspiration was For Whom The Wedding Bells Toll Part 1, where Jack says that his friends stole his girlfriends away, and that's how Whit met Jenny (in this episode Jenny and Jack date before Whit entered the picture).

• Jenny Morrow gives talks on C. S. Lewis books and mentions The Allegory of Love and Beyond Personality. (Jenny also goes looking for The Allegory of Love at Jack's auction house and Jack gives the book to Whit years later.) Jenny and Whit talk about a book by G. K. Chesterton and mention that Lewis talked about the book as well.
