There's a new sexy, vivacious lady in town! Her name is Pleasure O'Reilly, a model who is hiding from her overly jealous boyfriend, Thor "Thunderbolt" Swenson. She calls on the Stephens late one night and needs protection from Thor, who found out her new address. Darrin agrees to help her out, and when Thor comes to look for Pleasure, Samantha makes him think that Darrin's got a thing going on with Pleasure. When Thor goes after Darrin, Samantha turns him into his grandmother. Darrin might be saved, but Abner isn't! After Abner gets knocked out for no reason at all, Pleasure's lawyer puts a restraining order on Thor to keep him away, but not before taking her to the mayor's office for an honor she has received.

This is very funny episode,that has maybe the most memorable exchange of dialogue in the series run.Sexy Pleasure O'Reilly is the new neighbor,and Darrin is tripping over himself to help her.Sam tries to control herself,but certainly there is some jealousy.But I like how she tries to help Pleasure try to hide from her Footbal player beau.There are some funny scenes,especially when Sam turns Darrin into an old lady to keep him from being punched by the brutish Thunderbolt.It is hilarious to see Darrin talking like a little old lady,but the paste-de-resistance comes when Darrin the old lady directs Thunderbolt to the Kravitz' house,and when Thunderbolt asks Abner at the door,"Do you have Pleasure in here?",Abner innocently answers sincerely,"Not often,but occasionally."Which is answered by a punch in the face.It is basically a throwaway bit,but if you have a good understanding of the relationship between the Kravitz',it resonates more,and thats why I think it is so funny.Equally funny is the headline in the newspaper:"Passions plaything with a picture of Gladys Kravitz!Its a great episode,with George Tobias as Abner Kravitz,usually the most overlooked character on the series,getting a moment to shine,albeit with a shiner......
