This episode marks the return of Gerald Hiken in the role of pediatrician Bernie Applebaum, previously introduced in the Season Two entry "In 25 Words or Less". Making a concerted effort to win the hand and heart of Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones), Dr. Applebaum succeeds only in making a nuisance of himself--with the assistance of his overbearing mother, played by the ubiquitous Nancy Walker). The Partridge kids try to save their mom from Bernie's unwanted attentions by pretending to be a bunch of spoiled brats! Song: "One Day at a Time".
