McRaven & Johnson wrote this story where Mindy learns what it's like to be the strange creature from another planet, and Mork learns what Earthlings do on their honeymoon, thanks to a marriage manual Fred gave to Mindy to give to Mork.  (He can't be blamed for not wanting to give Mork fatherly advice.)  Mindy is patient and understanding with Mork, who first dresses like a chicken and then is as scared as a chicken at the idea of mating (not that they call it that).  She tells him she's nervous about motherhood, which would soon become ironic.  The episode ends with her driving the egg back home (symbolic?), although I could see how this could've been a two-parter.  It's fun to see the sets and costumes and it would've been interesting to explore Ork more.  Again, it's "To Be Continued."

Felix Silla (yes, Cousin Itt, as well as various Krofft roles) plays the Orkan Porter.  Orson, although mentioned several times, is absent.
