This Cinnamon & Wengrod story would be the perfect Season Four bookend with "Frankie and Tony Are Lovers," but another episode aired the week after this one.  Angela hasn't found a way to tell Tony she loves him, but she sleep-talks so that the whole family hears.  Everyone reacts characteristically: Jonathan somewhat innocent, Sam very curious and teasing, Tony in denial, Mona prying, and Angela herself embarrassed enough not to go to her birthday party.  (Her birthday is Friday the 20th, likely May.)  Tony tracks Angela down to a bar, where they talk about it as directly as they're capable of at this point.  He references his confession at the time of his appendicitis.

Michael Alldredge, who was Burt Harrison on The Bob Newhart Show and Sam on Three's Company, is Joe the bartender here.
