In this story by Ellen Guylas, Janet's boyfriend the newspaper reporter interviews the trio about their living arrangement, but instead of putting the emphasis on economics, he puts lots of innuendo in.  The girls get pinched at work but Jack is a hero to the guys at the Beagle.  Then both his mother and Terri's (Mina Kolb again) show up, now disapproving, so it's up to Janet to straighten things out.  Things of note:

• Janet mentions living with Eleanor but not Chrissy;
• Mr. Furley doesn't believe the innuendo but objects to the apartment being called run-down;
• Mr. F tells the reporter that Jack is gay, which Mrs. Tripper interprets as "happy," and then in the retraction it says Mr. Furley is gay;
• Jack insults Janet's appearance twice, in front of her boyfriend;
• Larry isn't around, but we can imagine his reaction to the story.

Brad Blaisdell returns as Mike the Bartender.  This time Don Lancaster plays Dan.  And Mickey Deems's final appearance on the show is as Janet's lecherous customer Mr. Hubbard.
