This episode almost entirely revolves around a conflict between Cliff and Claire. Cliff brings Theo home from the police station where he ended up after riding in a car with a friend who, like Theo, only had a learner's permit.
Cliff and Clair then fall into an amusing argument in the kitchen that basically happens because neither of them is listening to the other. The disagreement them moves into the living room and finally the bedroom where, despite a marital pledge, they go to bed angry with each other.
The next scene shows Clair at work negotiating a settlement with a member of opposing counsel on a case. Cliff calls and she reluctantly takes his call during which he starts the reconciliation process but Clair can only respond with terse lawyer like responses. This scene is incredibly charming and one of a handful of episodes where Claire gets to speak Spanish.
The end of the episode is back at home where the argument is put aside and they realize they were really upset with Theo not each other.
I think this is one of the most relatable and romantic episodes about adult relationships that has aged very well.
