Original Air Date: November 15, 1979

Summary: The girls are having a rough time in the army under Sgt. Plout’s watch, so when they have the opportunity to go back home to their old jobs (and a promotion!), they need to figure out a plan to get out of the army and get back to Milwaukee!

Guest Stars: Vicki Lawrence as Sgt. Plout
Best Quote: "Watching you two yellow-bellied crawdaddies get whooped is gonna double my pleasure and double my fun!" - Sgt. Plout
Most Touching Moment/Quote: The blue team winning the showdown! Woot woot!
Funniest Moment: The girls pretending to be crazy and acting as if they're being attacked by their coats, in order to try to demonstrate that they have army fatigue.
Squiggy Hello: "If I told you once, I told you twice. All we’ve got to do is turn into two raving idiots!" -Laverne "Hello!" -Squiggy
Featured Songs: The reprise of the "Hula Babies" song, when Sgt. Plout tells the girls they are going to Hawaii. So frickin’ awesome.
Strangest Moment: Laverne & Shirley actually schlemiel-schlimazel-ing in the context of the actual episode... and Sgt. Plout joining in.
Best Insult: "You two are spineless jellyfish. I could just barf." -Sgt. Plout
Saddest Moment: Colonel Henderson's pep talk: "Running away from your problems doesn’t solve anything. Got it?” (Yeah, that Henderson's a real, um, tearjerker... Dammit, there weren't any sad moments in this episode though, okay?!?)
Fun Tidbit: Sgt. Plout has been married at least four times: "These two are crazier than my second and fourth husbands!" -Sgt. Plout

Episode in One Ridiculous Picture:

Star Rating: 3.5/5
Verdict: Even more than the first "We're in the Army Now," this episode becomes just pure physical comedy... it takes it a little too far in my book, but still a memorable conclusion to a great two-parter.
