Childhood trauma has Nancy reluctant to go under the knife for a hernia operation; Sonny considers cosmetic surgery to get Kirk Douglas' chin.
Danny Thomas (who receives a special credit at the end of the episode) plays the doctor who tries to get Nancy to accept the gravity of her situation and dissuade Sonny from making a mistake. He also spends the whole episode complaining about his sore feet. His "flat feet needs a poster child" line is a nod to Thomas' famous longtime charity work.
Another average episode that is only notable for the small moments: The sweet conversation between Cassie and Nancy in the lounge pre-surgery; Cassie knowing all the doctors and interns at the hospital (a pre-FULL HOUSE Bob Saget appears); the girls' reaction when told Nancy will "be back to her old self in no time".
Cassie sports her most '80s-looking outfit of the whole series: an oversized blazer with huge shoulder pads and skinny tie.
