As an orphan raised by the tribe, Ed is excited to discover his father is a builder in a near-by town. There, his dad mistakes Ed for a laborer and puts him to work. Over the next few days Ed is able to learn more about his father without revealing their true relationship. One Who Waits eventually pushes Ed to overcome his nerves and admit to his father that he is his long-lost son.

Mike (guest star Anthony Edwards) and Maggie share their first kiss, but afterward Maggie immediately flees, mumbling that she does not want to kill him. Confused, Mike follows her an forces her to explain. Maggie reveals to him that each one of her previous boyfriends has died as the result of a freak accident and she cares about Mike too much to kill him. Mike convinces her that with his unusual lifestyle he is too safe for anything unnatural to ever happen to him.

A piano tuner, Arlen Briscoe (guest star Kevin Conway), unexpectedly arrives at The Brick and offers to tune the piano for a small fee. Although the price rises as Arlen realizes the terrible shape the piano is in, the beautiful music it creates when tuned is invaluable.
