"And the Silver Medal Goes To�" -- Kate is devastated when she learns that her fairytale story of how she and John met and fell in love isn't quite the truth, on CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, Wednesday, Dec. 8 (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Mark Cendrowski directed the episode from a script by Bruce Rasmussen & Eric Zicklin.

Kate fixes Tommy up with one of her friends only to have Tommy say that he really wanted to go out with a different friend of hers. When Kate protests, John tries to explain by saying it's just like when he really wanted to go out with Kate's roommate instead of her, which comes as a huge surprise to Kate. Meanwhile, Miles needs to find a date to his school dance.
