The first of the two parter seems more like a set up for the second one. Maybe tighter writing could have done it in one episode.

Stephanie is trying to decide to stay or go back with her father. He really isn't that bad it turns out but this is all new for Stephanie. She wants to stay at the inn and make her own choices. Joanna and George offer her support and she stays.

Dick's encounter with the very let's say active movie star is the funniest part of the episode. He tries to hide in the bathroom from her advances and has a funny couple of minutes with a bewildered chambermaids!

Kirk keeps trying to avoid Stephanie but when they finally see each other again she doesn't even remember him! A night with Kirk is forgettable! Humiliating but at least he doesn't have to avoid coming to the end .

We at this point haven't seen Stephanie in all her glory but it's nice to see her on again.

In Part 1, Erica Chase (Stella Stevens) says she must have an intimate affair with Dick if he helps write her book, Part 2 shows him trying to get away from her.

An OK episode with some funny moments of Dick trying to get out of Erica's suite. The subplot with Stephanie trying to decide if she will stay at the inn or return to her family was pretty good too. It was signs of things to come and the series would keep improving.

Wow! Was part one a stinker episode or what! This one was 100% better. I feel like the show is back on track. I really blame the director for part one, even though, at least on paper, the same guy also did part two. It was awkward and slow, with no laughs. The trivia listed here that says part one was a reshoot seems very believable. Perhaps they ran out of time and just did the best they could. Despite the polite excuse supposedly given for her dropping out, I suspect Elke Sommer was just not the right type of comic actress for this show. Stella Stevens was perfect. I can't imagine Elke being capable of giving a similar performance. Now part two actually had laughs and moved quickly. Also in part one, Joanna seems like a different person - cold and patronizing. And I hated how she suddenly couldn't make a move without calling Dick. In this episode she's back to her own warm, easy going, confident self. And I'm so glad Stephanie has finally arrived! I was gritting my teeth getting through the first season with Leslie. I'm sure that actress is a perfectly nice person but boy was her character a snooze and she lacked charisma. The writing was the main problem. Leslie only existed to prop up the plots of other characters, especially Kirk. She was an Olympic skier who never trained or went skiing, except that one time when it suited Dick. She was a college student who never studied or had tests or her own friends. She was a maid who did no work around the inn. It's like the writers had no interest in her, which made her boring to us. But now we get Stephanie who is given much more to do. And now I just have to make it through this one more season with the unfunny and grating Kirk. I loved this show originally and now realize part of that involved the much larger, funnier cast of regulars to come, of course that includes much more Larry, Daryl, and Daryl plus the other townspeople, such as Dick's golf buddies from the season one finale. I'm so glad to get going on season two. Watching this much improved episode finally makes a great start.
