The Brady Bunch: Two Petes in a Pod

ABC

Sitcom
DVD
B-

This last of five Sam Locke & Milton Pascal Brady stories has the common Schwartzian motif of the inexplicable lookalike.  (That Alice's Cousin Emma is the most plausible should tell you something.)  Fifteen-year-old Peter meets a classmate who looks like him but with glasses.  He and Arthur play a prank on the Bradys, which leads to the scene where Knight acts infatuated with Plumb.  Then when Peter has two dates for one night, he needs Arthur to keep one of them.  Oliver (Robbie Rist)'s role in this episode is minor, mostly just tacked on to the scenes with the younger kids.
