In this Harris & Silver episode, Chester and Jessica get marital counseling from their cynical Minister (John Hillerman, in I think his only appearance on one of my shows), but Chester is distracted by the minister's daughter Gloria (Colleen Riley in the first of three appearances).  Danny traces Polly (who seems to live in New York or at least a bigger town than Dunn's River), and meets her brother Eddie (Carter Country's Kene Holiday in his first of two appearances) and mother (name later revealed to be Rose Coleman, played by Royce Wallace in this and two more appearances).  Jodie officially moves back home with Wendy.  And Burt, who at one point says he raised three kids (is he counting Bob or is there another child out there?), finds out that Mary's pregnant and he has five months to live.

Other than Chester and Jessica, the Tate household is absent.
