Complete story — includes the ending

Dorothy and Stan are audited by the IRS, and they may be in deep trouble due to Stan's extravagant spending. Meanwhile, Rose takes a Spanish class at night school to qualify for a promotion at work, and Blanche tags along because she figures that it will be a good way to meet smart men. Stan and Dorothy are told they have to pay up $2,500 each, which makes Dorothy furious. She cannot raise the money, so she sells her diamond ring. Stan sells his Corvette and buys back the ring for her, and they settle their bill, with Dorothy seeing a different (and better) side of Stan she never knew before. Guest stars: Tony Perez as Mr. Escobar; Richard Penn as Mr. Murray. Note: Herb Edelman was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Performer in a Comedy Series for this episode.
