The scene is a charming townhouse bordering a family park. It’s Sunday morning,
just before noon, and friends and family are gathered around the table, tuned into

the bottom of the stairs. Some has brought a coffeecake. Everyone is
enjoying the anticipation.
This, after all, is not just any airing. This is the episode where Stuart himself

got her lips stuck around a giant Popcicle at a hot, very hot, outdoor Beach Boys
concert.
