Original Air Date: November 8, 1979
Summary: Laverne and Shirley try to help Edna's niece, who is new in town, by introducing her to the Angora Debs, their girls' club from high school. However, the Debs are no longer the nice little group of girls that Laverne and Shirley were once a part of.
Guest Stars: Elizabeth Daily (the voice of Tommy Pickles from the Rugrats) as Rita, head of the Debs. And pretty much Penny/Garry Marshall’s entire extended family as the rest of the Debs, including Penny's daughter Tracy as the girl who joins Edna's niece at the end of the episode.
