Laverne's new fella "Weezer" takes her on a double date with Carmine and his new gal Suzy to a French restaurant, only for a couple of hoods to try and hit on the girls. After Carmine and Laverne take the tough guys outside and give them a thrashing, Weezer feels incompetent about his masculinity and ability to protect Laverne. The two argue, he has a wild dance-number laden dream about it, and eventually Laverne gets her pop to set up a "bully" for Weezer to win against. But will he see through her ruse? On pod, we talk the chemistry dynamics of Belushi and Marshall, the necessary rewrites to make this episode possible, background on the various bad guy actors featured, and wonder whether this growth for Laverne will stick around.
