The parade of LoveCapades continues at the beginning of the 1980s.  First was a mini affair with the man who created the ski resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek.  Mostly a downhill ride. Then Michele visits her favorite spa at Rancho La Puerta in Mexico.  Here she has a fling with a fascinating psychiatrist who helps diagnose her approach with men.  More importantly, on one of these spa visits, Michele has a powerful and profound encounter with God that definitely alters the course of her life. This prompts her father to make another of his hurtful remarks which affects her deeply. Luckily there’s a big dose of comic relief in the episode with a whole batch of hilarious things that will have listeners laughing aloud. It turns out that one of Michele’s interesting patterns is that her lovers circle back years later.  One of the most tantalizing examples of this happens when Zander returns for a liaison.  Naturally, there’s a twist.  Michele explains in detail that she feels fortunate to be able to enjoy a variety of love experiences in a way that most women of her era cannot.  She does realize, however, that there is a double standard between men and women, how unfair it is, and how it continues to this day. Definitely food for thought…and discussion.
