Still hoping to curry favor (and a lucrative business deal) with his snobbish landlord, Mr. Whittendale, George agrees to dog-sit for Whittendale's prize Doberman. Alas, the dog virtually demolishes the Jefferson apartment -- and then has the bad taste to die in a freak accident.

Having been absent from the series since Season One, Sal Molina (Paul Sylvan) unexpectedly comes back into the life of his former fiancee Laverne (Penny Marshall). However, a lot has changed in the intervening six years: Sal is now a millionaire several times over. Thus, when he again proposes to Laverne, she must ask herself if it is love or money that will determine her answer. This episode is highlighted with clips from the interrupted wedding between Laverne and Sal in the first-season installment "Falter at the Altar". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While her dad Frank (Phil Foster is out of town, Laverne (Penny Marshall) rents out Frank's restaurant, the Pizza Bowl, for a bachelor party thrown by their pal Fonzie (Henry Winkler). Unfortunately, the added burden of cooking up enough food and entertainment for Fonzie's buddies proves to be a bit too overwhelming for Laverne and Shirley (Cindy Williams). Surprisingly, however, it is L&S who come to the rescue of Fonzie rather than the other way around when a key participant in the event fails to materialize. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
