Daniel Palladino wrote this story where we meet Angela's real first husband, poet Brian Thomas.  Twenty years ago, they ran off to Vegas and got married, but the next day he promised to file for a divorce in Mexico.  Now that he's engaged again, he found out that the papers weren't processed right.  He ends up falling for Angela again.  She has happy memories of him but that's the past.  Poor Tony has to deal with his jealousy in a new way, and he writes a bad poem that Angela loves because it comes from the heart.  She gives him a little kiss, which clearly gets to him, as does, in a different way, her playing footsy in the tag.  Pintauro is credited at IMDB, but he's not on the Nick at Nite version of the episode.  It would've been interesting to see Jonathan's reaction to all this.  Mona is of course amused by her daughter's accidental bigamy with Michael.
