"The Way Mork Were" opens with Mindy's father Fred (Conrad Janis) visiting Mork to ask how things are going with Mindy, adding that he's having difficulty in his new marriage. "Sky Flakes Keep Falling on My Head" opens the stock footage, followed by "Stark Raving Mork," then Mindy arrives home to hear Fred confess how hard it is with his unpredictable new bride. "Mork's Mixed Emotions" comes next, "Mork Runs Away" the episode that introduced 'friend of Venus' Exidor (Robert Donner) to a stunned and appreciative audience ("don't go to Pluto, it's a Mickey Mouse planet!"). "Mork vs. the Necrotons" was the awful hour long entry where poor Mindy was captured and stuck in a cage. Fred figures it's a simple case of nervous newlywed jitters, relieved to go home to Cathy and apologize for what he's been feeling. With only two appearances this second season, Fred would be a regular again the last two.
