This is the best episode so far this season, which means it's flawed but relatively intelligent. As the title suggests, Richie, who admits he's "crazy about" Lori Beth, nonetheless has a "grown-up affair" with a freelance photographer. I don't know how far they go, but he's out all night and she does invite him up to her hotel room. He says they walked and talked. Anyway, she of course loves and leaves him and he goes back to LB, who presumably is none the wiser. I'm giving a B-.
Notes:
- Richie dipping and kissing Joanie on the neck is far stranger than any of the Mother Goose costumes.
- Richie still has his job on the Milwaukee Journal loading dock.
- Bartender Wayne Morton would return four years later, as Dwight Mesmer.
- Ria Nepus would write four more episodes for HD, as well as two for Laverne & Shirley, one of these being the flawed but charming "Sing, Sing, Sing."
