In Sy Rosen's first of nine BNS stories, and the first of four directed by Alan Myerson, Jerry's girlfriend Courtney Simpson (Gail Strickland) returns, proposes marriage, and says that she wants to adopt a little boy named Guillermo.  There's some funny stuff here, mixed in with the more serious moments.  I like the subplot of Bob boring Emily and Howard with magic tricks; Pleshette's reactions are priceless, e.g. "Scarves, Bob?  His life will be filled with scarves?"
