This Wayne & Burditt episode is set on and just after Chrissy's birthday, which might indeed be in early January.  (Not that airdates correspond to settings, as we've seen.)  Jack has used the rent money to help Mr. Roper get an expensive coat for Mrs. Roper.  (No mention is made of sales tax or even wrapping charges.)  Chrissy assumes it's a gift for her from Jack.  It of course takes awhile to straighten out so that everyone is happy.  Well, everyone except Stanley, who has to pay for a trip to Vegas that Helen insists on.

William Pierson returns, now the dean of the cooking school, although still in charge of loans.  This is, by the way, the 1000th program I've reviewed.  And, yes, I think we'll hit 2000.
