- Nick is having problems even trying to speak to, let alone arrange a meeting with Bruce Sanders, whose latest non-fiction book, "How to Build a Better Body", Nick wants to serialize in the magazine. Nick asks Doris, in her first step to an executive position at the magazine, to try to get that meeting with Sanders in his place. Doris is able to get a meeting with him, but finds that their discussions have to be fit in around and during his excessive workout schedule or publicity engagements. Because of such distractions, Sanders suggests dinner at his apartment, which Doris agrees but is not looking forward to solely because she has seen what unusual health food he eats. But the business dinner is not quite what she expects in more ways than one. Although Nick appreciates the personal connection Doris has made with Sanders, he feels that he has to intervene to get back to the original goal, which may be difficult for out of shape and uncoordinated Nick, who is nonetheless concerned for Doris' welfare being around a muscle-bound potential playboy.

Despite boxing not being Doris' interest, she reluctantly agrees. Although she arrives looking like the proverbial fish out of water, Doris is determined to fit in "with the boys". Duke ends up taking a special interest in Doris professionally because of his special interest in her personally, he who provides her exclusive access on behalf of all the members of the press. Doris ends up being a distraction to Duke - who professes his love for her - which could possibly ruin his chances of defending his title as he has her on his mind instead of boxing.

Believing him to be a homeless transient, Doris, who can see that he is a nice man who is just down on his luck, not only shares her lunch with him but tries to find him a job. Unable to do so, she decides to hire him to work on the ranch with Buck, an offer that he accepts. As he calls himself Bill Thompson, Doris has no idea that he is really William Tyler, who was looking for an out of the way, private place from which to conduct his business.

With Myrna's help, Doris does whatever needed to get the poodles out of this unsafe situation. Managing to break in, Doris figures that the most prudent course of action is to take the poodles back to the air-conditioned office--as Nick has gone for the day--and telephone "Paul" to have him pick up the poodles there, but not before she informs the poodles' owners of the shabby way Paul has treated them them and gives Paul a piece of her mind. In the aftermath, Doris faces two legal matters: Paul charges her with breaking and entering and theft; and her actions could affect Nick's abilities to get Supreme Court Justice William Forester to agree to have the magazine publish his memoirs.

Coleman is comforted by Doris' assurances, until Moore and his men stop by the safe house and kidnap the two of them. Moore's goal is not to stop publication of the article, but rather that it be edited to his satisfaction.

- LeRoy seems preoccupied when Buck, Doris and Myrna stop by the gas station for some gas. The reason is that his wife Ellie is in the hospital soon to give birth to their first child. LeRoy can't leave since there isn't anyone else to manage the gas station in his place. As such, Doris volunteers herself and Myrna to be the pump jockeys, while Buck drives him to the hospital as he seems to be in no shape to pay attention to the road. Doris figures that it should be an easy job as all the station's business is local, and as such infrequent because of the small population of Mill Valley. What Doris is unaware of is that a detour has been set up on the main highway, rerouting traffic to the road along which the gas station is located. This leads to a busy afternoon of misadventures for Doris, Myrna and their multitude of customers, some who think they can take advantage of two seemingly helpless women.
- 1968–197323mTV-G7.1 (23)TV EpisodeNick is under a lot of pressure from Today's World publisher, Colonel Fairburn, as Nick and his executive team have lately had and are still having problems coming up with interesting and insightful feature stories. What Doris thinks Nick and Ron need is a day away from the office to let their minds relax and re-energize, she offering the farm as a retreat location on Sunday. They accept Doris' invitation. On Sunday at lunch at Doris', Toby seems a little listless, as he is not even eating. With a fever, he is eventually diagnosed with the measles. As neither Nick or Ron remembers if they have ever had the measles and can't find out on a Sunday, they are under quarantine at the farm until they find out for sure. So on Monday morning, Doris, in addition to making the initial inquiries as to Nick and Ron's past measles status with the necessary county health authorities, has set up the house as a satellite office of Today's World.

So when Colonel Fairburn comes to San Francisco unexpectedly, will he be understanding of the situation seeing as to the state of the magazine of late?
- Doris feels guilty that her work is interfering with her spending time with her boys, so she plans a whirlwind weekend of activities that they can all do together--but all the boys want to do is play football with their friends.
- Angie laments to Doris that business has been bad, which Doris doesn't understand since she believes the food the best in town. Doris' efforts to bring at least her friends in, either by changing where they normally eat or encouraging them to eat out if they generally eat in, don't seem to help. When Angie says that Louie has been offered a job at a high end restaurant recommended by well-known critic Dudley Grey, Doris believes that what Palluccis needs is for Dudley Grey to review their restaurant, this advice regardless of the fact that both Doris and Angie personally thinking that the power Grey wields is ridiculous. They first have to bring Grey in, which is a tall order since he generally only reviews higher end establishments frequented by high society. And even if he does come in, they have to make the restaurant look like an "in" place, complete with wait staff and a room full of customers clamoring to get in. The other problem is that they can't cater directly to him, as no one, even his editorial staff, knows what he looks like. Doris has some intel as to who Grey would be, but if that intel is wrong, their efforts to impress that one person may backfire.
