One evening, after Liz called about a supposed kitchen flood, Melanie decided to go with Henry. When they arrived, Liz appeared at the door in a silk robe, seemingly surprised to see Melanie there. Inside, the “flood” turned out to be a small puddle that looked staged.

It was clear Liz didn’t need a handyman — she wanted Henry’s attention. As Henry fixed the minor issue, Melanie handed Liz a list of local professionals and firmly suggested she call them instead of Henry in the future.
