Synopsis

In the episode titled The Norths Discover Christopher Columbus, Mr. and Mrs. North are enjoying a leisurely evening walk during the autumn season. Jerry North reflects on a previous belief that staying at home would keep trouble at bay, but he soon realizes that trouble finds them regardless. As they stroll, Pam brings up Columbus Day, humorously suggesting they send a card to Christopher Columbus, who discovered America in 1492. Their lighthearted conversation takes a sudden turn when Pam witnesses a man jumping out of a window, claiming to be Columbus himself.
