Although we met Shirley's mother Barb in a first-season episode, time has passed...and so, evidently, has Mom. Shirley (Cindy Williams) has long avoided wearing her mother's valuable diamond earrings, but when she's asked on a date by a big-time movie producer Willie Marsh (Harvey Skolnik), she wants to look her best. Alas, Willie proves to be what used to be called a "masher", and while fending off the producer's clutching hands, Shirley loses one of the precious earrings!
