Alan Mandel wrote this story where Tony dates Casey, an athletic 22-year-old who works for a fashion designer. Angela tries to get the account, including by dressing young. (Her outfit is great but the makeup and hair are horrific as they could be only in the late '80s.) She wants to sell the fashions to women her age, but she doesn't realize that "young girls" don't want to dress like their mothers.
Meanwhile, Tony finds it hard to keep up with Casey. And he ogles Angela's legs when her face is hidden by a newspaper. They both definitely express jealousy and attraction in this episode, which features a fantasy dream sequence to "Bluebirds Stepping Out." And they tease each other about their ages, although Tony must know she's two years older than he is, because of "Anthony & Ingrid." I might've gone with a B+ but the script, like Angela, tries a little too hard to be "with it," especially in its references to pop music.
This is another episode Danza co-directed with Bergmann.
