DEBRA IS UPSET WHEN SHE REALIZES THAT SHE AND RAY HAVE RUN OUT OF THINGS TO TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT, ON A REBROADCAST OF "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND," APRIL 18

"Silent Partners" -- Debra is upset when she realizes, at a Valentine's Day dinner with Ray, that they no longer have anything to say to one another, on EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, Wednesday, April 18 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Gary Halvorson directed the episode from a script by Tucker Cawley. (Originally broadcast 2/12/01)

Not willing to accept the fact that they have run out of conversation, Debra suggests that they get involved in one another's hobbies, so they will have more in common. Debra agrees to watch a basketball game with Ray while he promises to read a book she just finished -- all in the name of love. However, Ray soon realizes that too much togetherness may not be the answer to their problem.
