Turteltaub and Orenstein wrote, and Turteltaub directed, this fifth-season opener, where Don proposes to Ann on the day before their fourth anniversary.  She's so happy that she looks like she's inside a lava lamp.  Unfortunately, the ring has a previous owner who wants it back.  Ann handles things well, realizing that it's the love that matters more than the jewelry.  She does tease Donald at the end for not noticing her new hairdo, as it's now long and straight without really any trace of the flip.

This time Avery Schreiber (without facial hair) plays Mr. Franklin, while Ronnie Schell, who'd been Ann's agent back in '66, now plays Bob Howard.  Reva Rose makes her first appearance as Ann's friend Marcy.  Note, The Brady Bunch and That Girl were now both airing on ABC on Fridays, with Nanny and the Professor and The Partridge Family in between, but as I was only two and not even watching Sesame Street yet, I didn't notice.
