This Misch & Kelly story is an improvement over the last two episodes, with a gold-digger, Kathy Cumberland (Manoff), faking a pregnancy when she thinks Mork is rich.  He wants to do the honorable thing and marry her, not understanding that he couldn't get her pregnant just from sleeping on her couch.  Again, Mork and Mindy are sort of seen as a couple but not quite.  Note that although Mork is still making Nixon jokes (five years after Nixon's resignation), there is a reference to Reagan's hair in this episode.

Carl Gottlieb, who'd written one Bob Newhart Show episode and appeared in another, plays Justice Abbott.  Jim Staahl appears in the opening credits, although his character Nelson Flavor has not yet been introduced.
