"Mork Learns to See" casts blind actor Tom Sullivan as Mr. Bickley's equally blind son Tom, a professional singer introduced sitting alone in the dark in his father's apartment. Mork and Mindy enjoy his performance at the piano, lamenting the absence of Tom's father, who leaves a message saying he was called out of town. Mork decides to spend time with Tom to learn how to overcome the blues, but after 12 years apart from his father the young man can't disguise his disappointment. Mr. Bickley appears to be the one who is handicapped, spending his time at a local hotel rather than face the son he hasn't seen since he was 14. He tries to explain his actions to Mork and Mindy, and agrees to accompany them to see Tom off, but only as an observer, unwilling to reveal his presence to his son. Tom can still find his father due to his awful smelling cologne, and a bittersweet reunion results.
