The second story written by Greenbaum and Fritzell is not as good as their first, but it is nice to see Father Mulcahy with more to do, dealing with not only others' problems, including figuring out how to perform a bris on a Jewish-Korean baby, but also with his own concerns.  His sister the sister wants to stop being a nun and he feels conflicted.  Meanwhile, Henry finds out that his wife has had an affair and, no, nobody points out the hypocrisy of his reaction.  (It is played for humor, as when the other man turns out to be an orthodontist.)

Sachiko Penny Lee, who plays the baby's mother Chim Sa, would return three years later as a different character.  Patricia Stevens (Nurse Stevens) is back and can be seen in the above photo.
