Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode originally marked the return of Growing Pains to ABC's Tuesday-night schedule, after a two-month hiatus in which the series' timeslot was occupied by the brand-new sitcom Perfect Strangers. The plot finds both Jason (Alan Thicke) and Maggie (Joanna Kerns) facing the possibility of a radical career change, with Jason being offered a more lucrative job at Long Island Hospital, while Maggie considers quitting the newspaper after being humiliated by her boss. But will the couple agree to return to their former status quo, with Jason going to work while Maggie stays at home?
