This Richard Baer story has Donald returning from a two-week hunting trip with a beard.  Lew of course calls him a beatnik and a hippie.  Ann dislikes the beard but tries to be understanding.  Pete (Buzzi) gives her advice but she ends up solving the issue by pretending to get a haircut.  (Pixie, which is quite fetching on her, although Donald misses the flip.)  Then it turns out he's tricked her.  And there's another switch in the tag.  So the writing is cleverer than in the previous episode.  I was annoyed that Ann's Aunt Delia's 50th birthday party is mentioned and then dropped, but oh well.
