"Crime Isn't Pretty" script, Scene K

Like Scene A, the tag was filmed on 1-26-82, presumably so Cindy could go on her honeymoon:

FRANK, CARMINE AND SQUIGGY ARE MILLING ABOUT THE COFFEE TABLE.  THE TABLE IS COVERED WITH ALL THE STOLEN GOODS THAT CJ PROMISED TO RETURN.  FRANK IS HOLDING A CAKE.

FRANK

The girls are gonna be so happy to see their stuff back.  CJ even baked an Angel food cake.

FRANK DROPS THE CAKE ON THE TABLE.  IT LANDS LIKE A ROCK.

SQUIGGY

I bet the girls are gonna reward us for bravery beyond the call of nature.

CARMINE

I know how Shirley rewards me.

SQUIGGY

I know how Laverne rewards everyone.

FRANK

Hey I'll wash your mouth out with soap.

This turned into the three men sitting in the living room and wondering how to explain the shot painting.

THE GIRLS ENTER.  THEY ARE BOTH EXTREMELY SUNBURNT.  THEY WALK STIFFLY INTO THE ROOM.

CARMINE

Hey, girls, look.  We solved the case.

FRANK

All your stuff is back.

FRANK POINTS TO THE STOLEN GOODS.  THE GIRLS START MAKING THEIR WAY UP TO THE BEDROOM.

The girls' dialogue made it in, the only part of this scene that did.

SQUIGGY

Cake anyone.

FRANK AND CARMINE AGREE.

I have some questions:

• Who the hell is CJ?  If a carryover from an earlier draft (this is the revised final draft), why didn't they edit that out?  And does this mean that they shot this scene and then had to redo it at the time of the rest of the episode?  What about Scene A?
• If this scene is a carryover from an earlier version, did the guys trash the place or was that something that came along in the middle phase of writing?
• How did Aidekman and LeRose miss the Flanderization memo on frigid!Shirley if they took easy!Laverne so seriously?  And does this mean Squiggy is hoping to get something off Laverne?
• Cake, anyone?

Of all the scripts I've looked at, none of them, not even "Not Quite South of the Border," were so doggedly (yes, pun intended) turned into a less funny episode.  I mean, I like what I assume are Lander's additional Squiggisms of course, but there's a cartoony, zany zest to this script that would've been welcome in the California years.  OK, so some of it may've been unfilmable, but why dump some of the actually funny dialogue for in some cases something much blander?

Luckily, Season Seven did not end here.  A script that was actually written back on January 12th landed on the airwaves four months after that and will be our next stop on this strange journey.
