An Affair To Forget (S7E15)

It's time for another episode where Laverne dates a married man. Sigh. While Shirley's away for a few days, Laverne has a chance encounter with a fella named Hank. In spite of some very red flags, she goes out on a date with him to a seafood restaurant. But a miscommunication with his so-called answering service leads to the revelation that Hank's married - and to his wife showing up at the same restaurant thinking he has asked *her* out for the night. Panicking, the philandering jerk tosses Laverne into Captain Kidd's Galley, a gigantic fish tank, and she gets some lipstick-based revenge. Afterward, she confides in Carmine about her lifelong relationship problems. Will she figure out what's wrong with her? Meanwhile, Lyle from Teenage Lust returns as a gropey assaulter and Frank takes Carmine and Rhonda to a ballgame. On pod, we talk the characterization flaws in the episode, the strange mix of guest characters, and try to deliberate whether this already overdone plot format works here.
