Louise (Sally Struthers) is lonely with her boyfriend out of town, so she tries to coax Bill into spending some quality mother-son time together. Bill's left off the hook, though, after Judy unwittingly agrees to accompany Louise on a weeklong cruise. Waiter: Jonathan Williams. Betty: Lucy Lee Flippin.

Bill lies to Judy about who's to blame for messing up a video of Tina's ballet recital with close-up footage of Tina's good-looking dance instructor (Andrea De Oliveira). Meanwhile, Linda and Brian spend their free time together going to the theater.
