To get experience for an upcoming airline commercial, the company sets Ann up to work as a flight attendant. Donald joins Ann on her flight because she's scheduled to spend an extra day in Miami. Hearing Don will be there, Ann's father promptly buys a ticket and joins them. Once on the plane, Ann spots what she believes is a Cuban hijacker and in no time, she and the other passengers tackle the man, grab his gun, and tie him up. That's just about the time when the news comes that the man is a detective hired by the airlines to prevent hijackings. There goes Ann's big commercial! Guest stars include Arlene Golonka as Terry, the stewardess attracted to Donald (she also played Bonita La Salle in Episode #59), Jane Dulo, the loud-mouthed passenger (who also played a nurse in Episode #28), and Valentin deVargas as Mr. Gracie, the hijacker/detective.

62 • Secret Ballot

Ann is excited at the prospect of voting in her first presidential election. She's gone to the library to read everything she can about the issues and the political process. But on Halloween night, when Ann's father asks her what party she registered with, Ann feels it's her right to preserve her secret ballot. Her father takes offense and Ann leaves in a huff with Donald in tow, but when she must return to retreive her forgotten purse, they find her parents gone and the house locked. Penny Marshall makes a brief appearance uncredited in the opening sequence.

63 • Should All Our Old Acquaintance Be Forgot?

When Don has trouble getting reservations for New Year's Eve, Ann suggests they spend a quiet evening at her apartment and ring in the new year (1969) more privately. But when Ann's parents drop by (for one quick drink) and are soon followed by most of Ann's neighbors and friends, Ann and Don are reduced to spending a fortune on champagne, serving hors d'ovres made of peanut butter and corn flakes, and using flower vases as glasses!

64 • Eleven Angry Men and That Girl

Ann takes her jury duty to heart and will not go along with the rest of the panel when they all want to vote "guilty" against a man accused of hitting his wife with an ashtray. After reasoning that he couldn't have hit her with his right hand, she convinces the others and they vote for acquittal. So imagine her embarasement (and the judge's demeanor) when right after the verdict is read, the man picks up an ashtray from a courtroom table and belts his wife again!

65 • A Muggy Day in Central Park

When Ann's purse is grabbed by a mugger in Central Park, her first thoughts are to keep this incident from her father, who is sure to blame it on her life in New York City. Later, when Donald arrives at Police Headquarters to pick her up, he is led to the special "Park Detail" - where the policemen dress as women to catch muggers. He figues this would be a fascinating article for Newsview, so he dons a dress and goes undercover for the story. Once in drag, who should see him, but Ann's father. But Ann won't let Donald tell him the real reason he's in a dress and the evening only gets crazier from there! Guest stars include Dick Wesson as Charlie, Noam Pitlik as Harry the Mugger, Dort Clark as the Desk Seargent, Joe Perry as Foster, Bruce Mars as Schaffner (better known for his appearance as 'Finnigan' in the "Shore Leave" episode of Star Trek), and Paul Sorenson as Don's 'date', Detective Bill Morgan.

She tries to sleep, but every little noise scares her and the final one leads her to the basement where the door slams, locking her downstairs.

Before long, everyone that comes over to the apartment has a different opinion about it. Jerry (Bernie Kopell) thinks it's a spitoon and begins to clean his pipe on it. Ruth (Carolan Daniels) is embarassed, and points out that it looks like a cow. Ann's father thinks it looks pornographic, and landlord Mr. Brentano props open a window with it believing it to be something broken.

She is to play a wealthy, beautiful woman who is dressed in an elegant black gown and covered in a quarter of a million dollars in diamonds from Cartier's. She is to walk down a 40 step staircase very slowly and then pause demurely. Wow. But the catch is - when she gets to the bottom, they hit her with a pie! Ann cannot decide if she wants to do it, but the $500 paycheck convinces her. Afterwards, she is so embarrassed she's wearing dark glasses even in her apartment. It seems everyone she knows has seen the skit, including her father (who's also wearing smoked shades), so when producer Hal Grissom wants to make the skit a continuing gag, she feels she MUST decline - until she discovers they now want big stars to do it - like Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn.

It's Valentine's Day, and after Ann makes Don a souffle that sinks, and Don gives Ann roses she is allergic to, they exchange more permanent gifts.

When Don puts his foot down and insists she wear them on their evening of dinner and dancing, one of them indeed disappears. Don wants to make Ann feel better, so he buys another earring and plants it in the apartment where he believes she will find it.

His concentration is hindered when carpenters, painters and upholsterers all want answers to decisions Ann left up in the air.
