This episode surrounds the design firm's involvement with Shelby and Sissy Tate, a wealthy couple who involve them in their marital problems, buying them gifts and taking them on trips, four motivations only known to them. They've been trying to get a divorce for 16 years and each of them has a private investigator that follows the other. Julia of course tries to be the most professional oh, but she is equally as drawn in as the others. This causes arguments between the women, and they decide to drop the Tate's as clients in order to get back to real business.
Blooper alert, or more a case of a detail later changed, Suzanne is painting and tells Julia that she is jealous that she has no artistic talent. In a later episode, Julia told her paintings from the attic down to sell at an art show. Guy Boyd and Janet Carroll Jetstar as the Tates, with Carroll who played Jim Dial's wife on "Murphy Brown" (which followed "Designing Women" on Monday night) very amusing. The episode culminates with a very funny scene where the Tates taking their marital issues to a very amusing level. As Suzanne says, "There's integrity, and then there's mink".
