Some Enchanted Earring (S7E07)

Frank pops into Laverne & Shirley's apartment with a pair of earrings that once belonged to Josephine, Laverne's mother. Claiming he wants to give them to Edna, he asks Laverne to hold onto them and take them to a jewelers to get them polished up. Frank tells Laverne to "pick something you like." Shirley recommends Laverne wear the earrings on an upcoming date with Willie Marsh, "Hollywood producer." But the date turns out to be an absolute dud. In a scuffle with Mr. Dick Swamp, she drops one of the earrings. Realizing this, she and Shirley team up to go back to the Hollywood Hills, where Willie's car is parked, and retrieve the earring. Can they get them back without Willie noticing Laverne's return? Will Frank reveal the truth about who the earrings are for?! On pod, we talk Hollywood Producers archetypes, the dichotomy between the episode's duel plot elements of emotional father/daughter bonding and skeezy dates with creeps, and how the "bimbofication" of Laverne is going so far in season 7.
