Well, we're back down to just Harris & Silver writing the show, for what it's worth.  (Not much.)  Burt is offered the lieutenant governor's spot but is irritated with his family, including Mary, who insists that Scotty (now twelve months old) can fly.  Chester admits he still loves Jessica, and Dutch admits he misses sex with Corinne.  Danny and Annie, who've both been left (by Gwen and Chester respectively), bond over their bad habits and become physically attracted to each other.

Jay Garner, who plays Gene, would be Jason Defarge on Three's Company.  And, yes, that's 32-year-old George Wendt as the Counterman.  The Major, Eunice, Billy, and I think for the first time Jessica are absent.
