While appearing on a soap opera as an evil "other woman," Ann meets Donald's parents.  And as soon as we see her future mother-in-law, we know she's in trouble, because Mildred Hollinger is played by Mabel Albertson, who was giving Samantha Stevens grief over on Bewitched.  Sure enough, Donald's mom doesn't like Ann, although much of this is due to that soap role.  Donald's father Harold, played by George Cisar, likes her right off.  There are some sweet moments between Don and Ann, and it's fun to see scenes from the soap.  This episode was written by Tom and Helen August and is the first of two TG directing gigs for Seymour Robbie.
