In one of the series' most moving episodes, Laverne (Penny Marshall) tries to resolve the long-standing resentment she holds towards her late mother. Feeling "deserted" because she was deprived of a mother so early in life, Laverne has never been able to visit her mom's grave. But if her dad Frank (Phil Foster) has anything to say about it, Laverne will make her long-delayed pilgrimage to the cemetary before the week is out. Despite its serious overtones, the episode manages to deliver several solid laughs, notably when Laverne complains that she grew up deprived of having an older female around to tell her "how high to shave her legs."
