This Richard Baer script is mostly about how competitive Lew feels towards Donald, since he feels like he's been replaced in his daughter's life.  My sympathy was much more towards Donald through most of the episode, although I do like how Helen tries to balance and explain everyone's feelings.  And I like that Lew actually prefers to have Donald stand up to him.  Note that Donald was in kindergarten in '47, so he was likely born in '42.  Ben Cooper, who plays Officer Ben Cooper, had earlier been Mr. Corcoran.
