Bud Wiser wrote the teleplay based on a story by a woman who didn't contribute to any of my other shows. Tony hits on socialite Wanda in the supermarket but is hesitant to tell her he's a housekeeper. Then Angela gets mistaken by a flirtatious man for her own secretary, Rosie. Things come to a head at Angela's cocktail party, where Wanda brings Tony as her date. Angela calls Tony a hero for leaving Brooklyn to raise his daughter in a safer neighborhood, but it turns out that Wanda knew all along. And Mona shows up looking like something out of Auntie Mame, to enjoy the intrigue but also to defend her daughter. Note that Sam leaves a sleepover because Marci won't let her try on her training bra, foreshadowing an episode a few weeks later.
Earl Boen makes his first of five appearances as Angela's office rival, the despicable Jim Peterson, playing the role so vividly that we can imagine him even when he's just referred to. (He's less awful here than later, but he does seem rather handsy with Rosie.)
