In this Begel & Kite story, Regalbuto and Graff (who'd previously played a Receptionist) are a couple who seem to be a Neptunian named Kalnik and an Earth woman named Tracy.  Mork meets "Kal" while trying to call Orson and the two men soon hit it off.  But Kal is just using Mork, while Tracy is actually a robot, and a literal blonde bombshell.  After she explodes, the McConnells have to go on the run.  Mindy is correct that they will never see their home again, although no one then knew that the series was going to be cancelled in a few weeks.  This is not just a two-parter but a three-parter, fairly unusual for a sitcom of that time.
