This sweet April Kelly story is marred by distractingly bad old-age makeup on Williams.  Cora is mourning a friend's death so Mork uses his age machine to make himself elderly, "senile minus two."  (Again, this is disconnected from the later canon about how Orkan aging works.)  Mindy is angry and concerned when she finds out, but it turns out that Cora suspected all along.  She and Mork have a good conversation and he comes out to her as Orkan.  She immediately accepts him and they're better friends than ever.  Pity the makeup artist couldn't have done better work, especially from the mouth to the chin.  Note that Eugene is 10 and his (unseen) mother 31.
