In this Richmond & Perret story, both Jack and Mr. Furley are having trouble asserting themselves, including (in Jack's case) with Dean Travers (William Pierson).  So on Janet's advice, they both see Dr. Prescott, well played by 29-year-old Joel Brooks with unbuttoned shirt, chains, and a nifty parody of the more dubious therapy of the decade.  I prefer the other Dr. Prescott episode, since I never like to see Jack yelling at the girls for no reason, but this episode does have the two patients barking at each other, as well as Chrissy's dumb blonde act at least being funny (I cracked up at the running joke about the bill for paint in Mr. Furley's mailbox), and a nice little chat between the girls and Lana, including about Lana's three ex-husbands.  Also we find out Janet has a brother who seems to be close in age.
