When Ed meets the new bakery owner in town, it turns his world upside down! By episode's end, she is under her car, in a pair of coveralls, helping him with the repair! The kind of thing two people do that have become a couple, would do! Not to mention the fact that Ed ends the episode HAPPILY dancing across the garage floor, at her departure from the premises, in anticipation of their date later that evening. It's good to see the joy that comes to his life as he let's others in.

Shirley Winters and Jack Albertson reunited
kevinolzak14 July 2016
"Ed Steps Out" featured the only guest star appearance of Shelley Winters, Jack Albertson's recent co-star in the popular 1972 "The Poseidon Adventure," in the role of Shirley Schrift (her real name), recently moved into the neighborhood, boasting of her glazed buns (she works in a bakery). Despite Ed's usual grouchy disposition she becomes intrigued by The Man, asking Chico many questions that he's happy to answer, telling her that his boss has the heart of a 20 year old kid: "really, tell me what about the rest of him?" Ed himself isn't flattered by her attentions: "I don't wanna find out what I've been missing, I might start missing it!" Chico: "come on, I know the fire hasn't gone out yet!" Ed: "what fire, all I got left is a pilot light!" Chico: "why don't you take Shirley out and let her turn up your thermostat!" Shirley offers Ed an upside down cake from the bakery, named after him: "it's got a hard crust on the outside but inside it's all soft and sweet!" (Chico: "you sound delicious Eddie, sweetie pie baby!"). The story of her late husband's demise ends with him a snowman, still holding the cucumbers, after which Ed asks what kind of perfume she's wearing: "powdered sugar!"
