Her wig is still gray but much more flattering than the one Rue McClanahan wore in an earlier season one episode. She's back as Maude, Walter, Vivian and her husband Chuck (William Redfield) return from Jamaica and reminisce about the cruise before Vivian and Chuck announce that they are getting a divorce. This leads to their claim of boredom which brings out Maude's insecurities once again and leads to a big fight between her and Walter.
The reappearance of Vivian informs the audience that there's a lot about the Findley's private life that the audience does not know about. Vivian's dizzy characterization isn't as prevalent in this episode as in later appearances, so it's obvious that the writers were unsure of who she was. But it's another episode that brings out the passion in their marriage after a big fight, a recurring plot device throughout the series.
