Dave discovers that Evelyn is the woman who has been calling the station requesting that he play the song "Misty" and dedicate to her. When Evelyn starts showing up at his house and calling the station for more from the man Dave realizes that the woman views their interaction as something more than what it was. This puts pressure on Dave since he is attempting to revive an old love affair with Tobie (Donna Mills), an artist who has moved back to Carmel after departing after the two broke up a few months earlier. Dave tries to tell Evelyn in a nice way that he wants to have some distance from the woman, and she reacts by slashing her wrists and drawing him into tending to her. As Dave develops his relationship with Tobie, Evelyn reacts by interrupting his business meetings with public accusations and sneaking into his house and tearing up his clothes and attacking his housekeeper. After the attack the police arrive to take Evelyn in custody and she is incarcerated. Dave and Tobie reunite happily with Dave returning to his radio show and Tobie getting a new room mate. Then Evelyn calls Dave on his radio show one night and everyone realizes that the situation is heading for a confrontation.
