* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: Dorothy wants Eddie to get his radio store, but she's just found out she's pregnant.

So she tells Eddie that she wants to go back to work, thinking then they can afford the radio store and the baby. Eddie takes this to mean that she's not satisfied with living in their little studio. So he spends all the money saved up for the radio store on a fancier house.
