* In "Asking For Flowers", Wordy convinces a battered wife to turn in her husband by giving her an impassioned speech about someone he knew who was being abused by her husband, mentioning that she always wore turtlenecks in summer and looked terrified; while the woman doesn't have enough context, it's made pretty clear to the viewer that this "girl from [his] neighborhood" is Wordy's wife Shelley (not least because he uses her name). At the end of the episode, Wordy pulls into his driveway to find his wife waiting for him on the porch, looking completely relaxed and wearing a low-cut shirt, and clearly very much in love with him. And he clearly returns the sentiment. It may have taken her some time to get there, but it looks like Shelley got her happy ending.
