Two of the friends that Angela met at the gym earlier in the season, Carol (Soap's Randee Heller) and Deb (Three's a Crowd's Mary Cadorette), return and are joined by another ABC sitcom veteran, Wendie Jo Sperber as Lori.  The "girls" are all on a volleyball team which Angela encourages Tony to coach.  He does but she feels neglected.  Then towards the end we find out that he took her for granted because he sees her as strong.  There's some weird flirting here, like when she says she wanted him to "whip" her, too, that is, whip her into shape, and when he says she's a babe when her shorts ride up.  (Adam I. Lapidus's other WtB script, "Allergic to Love," is also odd.)  Note that her friends see them as a couple, despite her disclaimers months ago.

This is the 1300th sitcom episode I've reviewed.  We will definitely hit 1400.
