Cheryl Alu's first of two L & S stories, and Winifred Hervey's only, doesn't give a crap about continuity, and I'm not sure how well the whole set-up of throwing a party in a trailer with a broken jack works (couldn't they just move it outside?), but hey, at least there's Lavenny. (See below.) Note that not only is it somehow Frank & Edna's fifth wedding anniversary, but they met on August 8, 1958.
After Lenny and Squiggy show up with a piñata, the trailer really needs rebalancing. Most people touch each other lightly, but Laverne grabs Lenny by the arm. Not only that, they sit on the floor together and exchange smiles after Frank tells the viewing audience of the show within a show how much he loves Edna. Then Edna goes to hug Frank and the trailer gets off balance again, so Laverne rolls onto Lenny and they roll Stage Right. You can look at Fredna and Squigley for comparison. (Poor Carmine is the odd man out.)
Frank's Fan Leoda Richards played a Volunteer four years earlier, while Mitchell Laurence, who's the Director here, was Ray (the guy Laverne makes out with and then abandons in Milwaukee on the season premiere). Timothy Blake was Veronica on a previous episode and is Hillary Hinkle on this one. Lady #1 Merie Earle might've then been recognizable from her recurring role as Mrs. Loomis on The Bob Newhart Show.
