Chet Dowling and Sandy Krinski co-wrote this and the next episode.  Here, Jack meets up with his old high school crush Robyn, who's married Francis "Moose" Kirk (Don Sparks, who previously played Bob).  Francis is very jealous and has told Robyn he wants to talk to Jack about her.  Unfortunately, they, and Mr. Furley, get poison oak.  There are some nice performances but making Francis so potentially violent, threatening to kill Robyn's supposed lover, takes some of the lightness out of the farce.  Note that when Francis asks Jack if he remembers Robyn Baxter, Jack replies, "Wasn't he the guy who played on Mork & Mindy?"  (Williams and Ritter were fairly good friends in the '70s.)
