The Gymnast Show (S8E10)

The one where we talk about Adam West! When Rhonda shows up with a spare date for Laverne, it turns out to be Edgar Garibaldi, a once great gymnast. Immediately smitten with her, Edgar takes Laverne out, but he keeps calling her by the name Louise. Laverne sticks with the relationship nevertheless and he eventually invites Laverne to his manor abode for a lovely weekend getaway. While there, Laverne learns Eddie's got a history with this Louise gal: his prior partner. Several more clues and the fact that Rhonda he had previously stated he wanted to "strangle her" send Laverne into a self-protective panic. Is he a lunatic that will kill Laverne in place of Louise?! Or just a sad, lonely rich guy with a trapeze in his mansion? On pod, we disagree heavily about the episode, but are able to find some common ground in the solid acting work from West and the gothic overtones.
