Sternin & Fraser also wrote this second part, which is not as good but still a perfectly fine episode.  Tony gets a job working for a nice, rich, elderly woman.  (How rich?  Well, she has three maids and at least one other servant, but she is rich enough to think Angela lives on the poor side of town.)  It's a great job, especially with all those maids to flirt (and more?) with, but Tony misses Angela.  Meanwhile, Angela and Michael are trying to make their marriage work, but he resents her taking work home.  The Micellis pays a visit, and it's cute how Jonathan and Samantha pretend they don't miss each other.  (It would be in later seasons that she'd be more negative towards him.)  Michael and Angela realize they need to divorce and he, offscreen, invites Tony to come back.  Note that Crunchy Crawlers cereal is mentioned here and in the previous episode, a callback to the pilot.

Ian Abercrombie, who plays Leo the butler-chauffeur, was a Lawyer on Three's Company.  We hear Jim Peterson's voice on the answering machine but Boen does not appear.
