Lou's former girlfriend, singer Charlene, is back in town. Like most 'dating' story arcs in the series the romantic partner stopped appearing without explanation - we learn here Lou and Charlene had argued when she left town on a tour with a young ice skater.
Lou has Mary host a party and invite Charlene so he can accidentally bump into her. Too bad the party is a flop when Ted and Georgette argue the entire time, and Murray shows up sick. Charlene, now played by Janis Paige, makes Lou jealous by bringing the skater Kenny (Jeff Conaway) as her date. Despite Lou's bad reaction to Kenny they arrange to double date. Lou brings Mary's very eager neighbour Paula (Penny Marshall) as his date and hopes to make Charlene jealous.
This is a minor but funny episode. Penny Marshall is the comedy highlight here. Her scenes are the funniest part.
