Best Quote:  "When I talk to girls, don’t stick your fingers in your mouth!" -Squiggy, to Lenny​
Most Touching Moment/Quote:  The girls all coming together at the end of the episode (yes, even Laverne & Rosie) to sing their old club song.
Funniest Moment:  The drowning of the fox. And if you have no idea what this refers to, you need to go watch this episode, PRONTO.
Squiggy Hello:  "That’s all that man wants out of life is something that cries, burps, and wets its pants." -Laverne  "Hello!" -Squiggy
Featured Songs:  The Angora Debs song, led by Laverne & Shirley
Strangest Moment:  Lenny entering the girls' apartment, his mouth stuffed with marshmallows - only a single one away from taking the record!
Best Insult:  "She chose me, because I’m gonna do that kid a lotta good." -Rosie  "Especially at Halloween." -Laverne
Saddest Moment:  Laverne and Shirley looking over at a very sad Eleanor, thinking that their talk about how great single life is may have worked too well on her.

Fun Tidbit:  Eleanor went to her high school prom with Squiggy.

Star Rating:  4.5/5
Verdict:  This episode is the first time the audience meets Rosie Greenbaum (let's ignore that bizarre Carole Ita White cameo in season 1...), and the dynamics we're introduced to are truly awesome. A terrific rivalry is born with Laverne & Rosie.
