Complete story — includes the ending

In a meta-layered spoof of daytime soap operas, Janet ( Faye Grant ), a housewife who is obsessed with the soap opera There's Always Tomorrow and watches the program religiously, is annoyed that her doctor husband, Leon ( Alan Rachins ), is more obsessed with experimenting on a rabbit than spending time with her. When her TV loses picture at a crucial moment in the show, Janet calls in a cable man named Abel ( Anthony LaPaglia ), to have cable installed. Inspired by There's Always Tomorrow 's no-nonsense main character, Fuschia Monroe ( Anita Morris ), Janet begins a steamy affair with Abel while Leon is distracted with his work. When Leon catches the two of them in the act, he soon wonders if he could try his experiment on human subjects. Also starring Tristan Rogers and Annabelle Gurwitch.
