In this Reno & Osborn story, Mork's job is challenged by his hero, Xerko (Lyle Waggoner in a role that verges on self-parody, but didn't they all?).  Xerko envies the popularity of Mork's reports, so he battles a very reluctant Mork with invisible swords, leading to some nice mime. Mindy could just say that living with her is not part of the job, but as with Cindy on Three's Company that week, an arrogant, powerful man refuses to take no for an answer.  (Xerko kisses Mindy against her will, although it's played for laughs.)  Meanwhile Mr. Bickley pays for his girlfriend's bus fare from Arizona and is annoyed by the "kinky" goings-on upstairs.
