This story by Cinnamon, Fisch, Kallis, and Wengrod does not use its special guest star, Frank Sinatra, nearly as well as Ray Charles was used a couple seasons earlier.  As with the "Frank Sinatra tickets" plot on Man About the House and Three's Company, both Tony and Mona want to go see him, although this time it's a fancy gala rather than a concert, and instead of competing to go, Mona steals Angela's ticket and identity and takes Tony as her "and guest."  Note that it's pretty amazing, even by sitcom standards, that when Angela comes back from a business trip early, she not only turns on TV coverage of the event, but she changes into an evening gown (and whatever other preparations she needs) and drives to New York in plenty of time to catch her mother lying.

Messenger Gary Lieberthal and Photographer Pat Sturges would be back as Rey and Liz respectively.
