The parley between Mary (Marla Gibbs) and Frank (Lee Weaver) isn't their first onscreen banter. On the The Jeffersons episode "George's Guilt", George Jefferson's (Sherman Hemsley ) childhood gang "The Seven Saints" reunite after twenty years for the death of an estranged member. George invites the remaining Saints over to the apartment for a gathering. One of the Saint's name is Willie (Lee Weaver), who, upon being introduced to Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs), is immediately flirty and very handsy. The wisecracks between Florence and Willie eventually lead to Florence winning a bet.
