Original Air Date: October 20, 1973
Keith tries to land a date for the beach party with Johanna, one of the
prettiest girls in school, but she turns him down for a member of the
basketball team. Laurie offers to get him a date with her friend Sally, who is
not exactly Keith's ideal, but he reluctantly agrees. Later, Keith finds out
that Johanna's date fell through and he eagerly agrees to take her out. Now
he's stuck with two dates!
Keith confides his problem to Reuben who advises him to take out the sexy one,
not the nice one. Later, Shirley and Laurie learn Keith has made two dates for
the same evening and tell him he should break his date with Johanna. He tries,
but he can't do it.
Keith devises a plan. He pretends he has a cold and arranges for his friend
Wally to take Sally out to a play. He thinks he's free and clear to take
Johanna out to the beach party when Sally shows up with hot soup to nurse his
cold. After she and Laurie give Keith a hard time, Sally takes off with Wally
and wishes Keith a good time at the beach with Johanna. She knew about the
double date all along! Laurie tells him if he had been honest in the first
place, he'd never had the problem of two dates. Later, Johanna calls. Her
basketball player is going to take her after all! Keith winds up spending
Saturday night dateless, playing Parchesi with the kids.
