This first of three Mork episodes by Winifred Hervey uneasily addresses uneasiness.  Mearth is on vacation with his grandfather, and his parents are alone for the first time since he was hatched a month ago.  They experience a weird cross of empty nest syndrome and newlywed awkwardness, even though they lived together three years before getting married.  They're still trying to find a balance as a married couple.  Although this series is to some extent a "kids' show," there are hints of sex here, as when Mork yells (in front of roofers) that one reason he loves her is because she "looks great naked."
