Mr. Bickley's estranged son Tom (played by blind actor/singer Tom Sullivan, who was Tom Straw on M*A*S*H) visits but Mr. B isn't ready to see him, after twelve years apart.  M & M befriend Tom, and Mork learns more about life by spending time with Tom.  Yes, the Scharlach & Tenowich story is a little corny, but solid performances by all, including Sullivan's singing, help a lot.  OK, it's a bit weird to hear someone advise Williams to "get high on life," but it's nonetheless moving.  And obviously the early scenes with Mork dealing with depression are more poignant now.

Club Manager Terry McGovern would be Ray Hagen on Three's Company.
