- Beautiful socialite Erika Tiffany-Smith arrives and wants to buy the island to build a resort. The Skipper falls for her and tries to impress her, but she only has eyes for The Professor.
- Socialite Erika Tiffany Smith (Zsa Zsa Gabor) is sailing through the South Pacific with a young boatman named Johnny (Michael Witney), looking for an island to build a tropical resort. When she gets to the island, she casually meets the Skipper hauling coconuts back to camp and Gilligan (Bob Denver). Who runs back to tell the Howells about her. Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer) isn't fond of Erika since her name appeared above hers in the social register, but she remains cordial to her. Ginger (Tina Louise.) meanwhile finds the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) Struggling to win Erika's affection, but Erika is only enchanted and attracted to the Professor (Russell Johnson.) Who is oblivious to the attraction as he tries to share with her his scientific discoveries on the island. She mistakes his desire to have a research partner for a marriage proposal, but Mr. Howell (Jim Backus.) Meanwhile is trying to finagle a deal to sell the island to her. Eventually, Erika realizes she can never have the sort of relationship she wants with the Professor so he goes to Ginger and she teaches him to kiss. And she has Mr. Howell break up with him for her. She departs promising to come back in two hours, but a storm comes up and three days pass with no sign of her. Gilligan packs his clothing and turtle The Professor brings the radio. In a later radio interview, she mentions the Castaways without naming them, but the Navy are unable to use her log book, which is written in English translated from Hungarian, to find them, neglecting to use latitude and longitude in her notes. The Skipper looks at The Professor and says: "Professor I think we're going to be here for a long time." He nods and agrees.
