And it's back to the apartment, during the "day."  And you might think that we'd see Shirley again, and maybe even hear some mention of her marriage and/or pregnancy, but, no.  It's almost exactly what would air five and a half months later.

We did lose Squiggy saying that they were "going on another expedition in the great tradition of Lewis and Martin," i.e. Jerry and Dean, as well as his line, "C'mon, Len, let's get out of these sheets and into our trapping gear.  In the great tradition of Pat and Daniel Boone, we're going hunting."  The part about shuffleboard was added.

So there you go, a fine script, maybe a bit funnier than what aired, or maybe I was too harsh (and depressed by Season Eight) in giving the filmed episode a B-.  Our next expedition into this darkest, but not deepest season begins tomorrow....
