Episode Summary:
In this episode, an old man obtains an old radio, which he listens to, and hears old shows and music from his younger days. He tries to convince others of it, but they can only hear static. Worried about the man, they sell the radio, which he gets back. In a heartfelt confrontation with a woman who lives in the same apartment building, we learn that they once listened to the same shows together years before, and had intended to marry, but he kept letting other things interfere, and too much time passed. She told him it was over, and in the past, and he should let it go. She leaves, and he turns on the radio, and she returns to the room. Both the old man and woman are young again, or rather, the man has been sent 20 years into his own past, to relive his life and set things right.
