What's Happening!!: Speak for Yourself, Dwayne

Dwayne falls for new girl Nancy (Ronalda Douglas, who previously played a Secretary).  This Fred S. Fox and Seaman Jacobs story is predictable, especially when Roger acknowledges the "Miles Standish" parallels, but it works, and it is fun to hear the studio audience heartily participating, from making comments to cheering.

Debbi Morgan returns as Diane.  This is the first of two WH episodes directed by Hal Alexander.  I don't know if it's fault that there's a visible hanging mic, like on Welcome Back, Kotter sometimes.  (The cameras in the above picture suggest that this is behind the scenes.)
