This episode has two good dramatic scenes and a proto-Golden-Girls scene, but I can't give it a B+ because some of the other scenes are weak.  One of these is another hospital scene, where Chester still has amnesia and the doctor finds it funny.  Also, the Sally being in love/lust with Burt thread doesn't really work, especially knowing her motivation.

One of the dramatic scenes is Elaine explaining to Danny why she's a bitch (not that she puts it that way).  The other is Burt talking about how his father was never a success.  As for the GG-like scene, it's Susan Harris having four female characters sit around the kitchen table, eating junk and talking about sex.  Meanwhile, Jodie meets Carol's father, "Boomer" David (Michael Conrad, who was Mr. Trevesco on The Bob Newhart Show), and tells him "The Princess is pregnant."  Boomer is nice to Jodie's face but tells Carol to never bring "the faggot" home.

The Major, Chuck, and Bob are absent.
