When Laverne and Carmine return to the apartment after attending the Burbank Business Association's Dancing Contest, they find that all of Shirley's things are gone ... along with the lady herself. All that's left is a single note waiting for Laverne -- a goodbye letter from Shirl that seems to brush off the many years of friendship and sisterhood. Seeing Laverne devastated by the news, Pop and Carmine and all the others try their best to lift Laverne's spirits, from helping her search for a new roommate, to getting the whole gang of their friends together to keep Laverne company when she goes to bed. But will Laverne find there's more to this single page note? How will she move on? Is this truly the end of Laverne & Shirley?! On pod, we continue to discuss the major shifts in production on the eighth season, and its emotional ramifications on the show's tone. Plus, we geek out on the guest star appearances.
