Feeling they have been a bit too rough on Reuben (Dave Madden) lately, the Partridges vow to be extra nice to him from now on. Unaccustomed to such positive treatment, Reuben jumps to the conclusion that the family is merely feeling sorry for him--and that he is doomed to die! A subsequent birthday party attended by Reuben's mother Clara (played by "Wicked Witch" Margaret Hamilton) and girlfriend Bonnie (Elaine Giftos) only further persuades him that he's not long for this world--and it is up to his level-headed mom to snap Reuben out of his self-pitying funk. Songs: "I Wouldn't Put Nothing Over on You", "I've Got Your Love All Over Me", "Just Lovin' You".
