* LiteralChangeOfHeart: Callous businessman Tom begins to act strangely after receiving a heart transplant, loosening his tie, having hot dogs for lunch, and treating his co-workers to walks on the beach. Tom is also immediately attracted to the depressed Mary Jo, and after driving around for almost an hour, he arrives at the greasy spoon on Route 17 she works as a waitress in. Tom can't explain why he's drawn to Mary Jo, but he visits the diner every day attempting to bond with her. After a while, she refuses to serve him as she finds him creepy. Tom eventually learns that she's mourning her recently deceased boyfriend Jamie Adler, who donated his heart after being killed in a car accident. After calling his cardiologist, Tom discovers that Jamie's heart was the one he recieved in surgery. He returns to the diner and tells Mary Jo that he'll be waiting for her when she decides that she is ready to date again, but doesn't say anything about the heart. The experience also causes him to become more ethical in his business practices, as he allows a client to set his own price as opposed to charging an exorbitant one like he used to do.
