Earlier episodes hinted that Gidget might have an Electra Complex, but this one, written by John McGreevey, addresses the issue relatively directly. The phrase isn't used ("father image" is), but it's pretty clear that Gidget is worried she has such a complex. So she decides to first encourage one of his relationships, and then to distance herself from Russ. Of course it all backfires on her and Russ, till they clear the air at the end.
Bob Beach had earlier appeared as Pete on "Chivalry Isn't Dead," but this is his first of five appearances as Toby. Penny Kunard, who plays Katie would be on That Girl. (No, that's not the Michael York as Perry.)
Below, the contrast between mid '60s TV farce and early '80s TV farce.
