To the 1980s: From Scorned to Cherished - Episode 2

Neighbors storm Jessie for snatching a little boy’s snacks and making a public scene, then march to Harkins because their husbands work at the same institute. Jessie privately admits she has bullied kids, freeloaded, and lives in a mess, resolving to accept a fresh start in this era. The women demand an explanation, say Harkins's wife yelled at their door for thirty minutes, and threaten to report him to his superior. Harkins apologizes publicly on her behalf, but the episode ends with him declaring, "I have to divorce her," turning the spat into an immediate marital crisis.
