After burning the Asian dinner Mrs. Livingston prepared, Betty said she prefers steak and insist to help (she says "It's lady's work"), and learn they share in common the loss of their spouses, though not for football (she likes, he doesn't). The boys decide they are best friends, and both of their parents are 'terrific'.

Concluding that this "tomboy" is rough around the edges, Tom enlists Mrs. Livingston's help because she is "smooth around the edges". She has Joey help make dinner "for the man". Why? "Because we woman are here to do it for them." Waiting on them "Japanese style", the two serve the food and will not eat until the men are done. Finally fed up after cake has been served and Eddie asks her for tea, she responds, "Your arms are not broken — pour it yourself!" and smacks him. Eddie, following Joey's father's (David Ketchum) advice, hits her back. And the tears begin to fall. Consequently she is now a "very sweet little girl". Back at school, Joey becomes so clingy that Eddies tells her to leave him alone which, again, causes her to cry. As a result, a fellow (male) classmate gives Eddie a black eye for making Joey cry.

Mrs. Livingston calms Eddie by telling him the Japanese haven't done that for years and that woman never did. She ends up taking a makeup test and passes to everybody's relief. According to the director, Ralph Senensky, "Mrs. Livingstone’s flunking her exam was a Hitchcock MacGuffin to get us into the main story — of what occurs when a seven year old boy’s imagination encounters a frightening circumstance."

1212"Member of the Wedding"Hal CooperPeggy Chantler DickDecember 3, 1969 (1969-12-03)
Tina decides that she wants to marry Norman, who, after initially resisting, decides it would be a great idea. Tom later reminisces about asking Eddie's mom to marry. Inspired, Eddie explains to Norman and Tina that their marriage would be different from his parents: the former plans to go to the disco every night as a married couple, the latter settled down and had Eddie. Echoing the expression, "Out of the Mouths of babes", the bride and groom-to-be realize that their motivation, to avoid loneliness, is not an adequate reason to marry. Amusingly, they call off the wedding but decide there is no reason to cancel the wedding reception.
1313"A Night Out for the Boys"Hal CooperStan Cutler & Martin DonovanDecember 10, 1969 (1969-12-10)
Tom and Eddie go on a camping trip with Dr. Bob Lockwood (Jonathan Daly) and his son (Danny Lockwood). Tension between the two dads arise due to their differing viewpoints on camping: Bob sees it as a character building exercise, particularly from a military perspective, whereas Tom sees it as a chance to have fun with Eddie. After Tom and the two boys get lost (and quickly regain their bearings), Bob chastises them for not following proper protocol. In the end, Bob loosens up after realizing that his relationship with his son would improve if they become more of a father and son rather than an army captain and recruit.
1414"Mother of the Year"Hal CooperPeggy Chantler DickDecember 17, 1969 (1969-12-17)
Eddie's teacher, Miss Lister (Pamela Peadon), is pregnant (she is married but uses her maiden name as her "teacher name") and the students' mothers are having a surprise party for her. After Eddie wishes he had a mother that could participate, Tom offers his help. But he is told the "party is for ladies" only. Nonetheless he offers to make finger tip sandwiches, and though the "ladies" doubt that a man could make food, they relent. Tom struggles with the task but after a swig of bourbon he decides that the best food for a room full of children is one that Eddie would make: peanut butter, pickle & jelly bean finger sandwiches, etc. The mothers are horrified but the kids love it and Miss Lister gives Tom her plaque that reads, "Mother of the Year".

Eddie's Aunt Kate (Francine York), his mom's sister, is in town visiting. At first, Tom is hesitant to have them meet as Kate used to look exactly like Eddie's mom. He believes that Eddie's memory of the loss of his mom is so fresh that he wants to shelter him from a painful reminder. But Eddie senses that Tom is hiding something from him and they have promised never to keep secrets from each other. After Mrs. Livingston insightfully asks Tom is he isn't protecting himself as much as Eddie, Tom relents. Kate is quite different from how Tom remembers – a member of the jet set, flighty and overbearing. She spends a day with Eddie, gambling, attending a cocktail party, bringing Eddie home decked out in a Nehru jacket and love beads flashing a peace sign (the show's perspective of a hippie) even encouraging him to tell a white lie about Norman. Tom feels that Kate is a bad influence and asks her to no longer be a part of Eddie's life. However, after seeing that Kate, though different, has a piece of Eddie's mom in her, and seeing that Eddie doesn't confuse Kate with his mother, he welcomes her into the family.

Guest Star: Karin Wolfe as Etta.
1616"The Library Card" Ralph Senensky Pauline Stone & Michael CosgroveDecember 31, 1969 (1969-12-31)
After Tom receives a letter from Eddie's teacher that he isn't living up to his reading potential, Tom concludes that reading two books every Saturday to Eddie has taken away his initiative to read. So Eddie gets his first library card. His first book is Little Red Riding Hood . Later, he can't find the book and his neighbor friend (Lisa Gerritsen) tells him that he could go to jail for the infraction and should turn himself in to the police. Eddie, worried, does just that. The police officer (Thomas J. Hawkins) brings Eddie back home and Tom chastises him for not taking care of the book and not discussing his problem with him, which Eddie had tried to do but Tom was in a rush. It ends up that Tom himself had stuck the book into his briefcase and all is forgiven.
1717"How Do You Know If It's Really Love?" James Komack Peggy Chantler DickJanuary 7, 1970 (1970-01-07)
Eddie struggles with the emotional pangs of first love for his much taller neighbor Elsie (Gabie Grammer). He suspects she likes him because she borrowed his sneakers as a good luck charm. He invites her over to his birthday party but is nervous that his "better looking" friend Richard Katkov (Larry Renda) will snatch Elsie away. At first relieved that Richard is bringing a date himself, Eddie is instantly attracted to the brown-haired, more height-appropriate girl, Margaret (Lori Specter), even giving her a braid found in the piñata booty. All of this attention is hurting Elsie's feelings. Eddie resolves the dilemma by sticking by Elsie which shows to Tom that he is learning responsibility. He understands from Mrs. Livingston's haiku that Margaret is unattainable while Elsie is "touchable". "It's really love if she doesn't have real long brown hair or anything 'cept you still think she's real neat." Guest Stars: James Cole as Max Kelly, Erin Moran as Emily Ruth Gustafson (the "shover"), Mitchell Sakamoto as Frank Komosori, Richard S. Steele as Dick (as Richard Steele).

A retired teacher, Miss Bristol lectures separately both father and son that it isn't healthy to spend so much time together. So Eddie invents a friend he wants to play with on Sunday while Tom invents a girlfriend for his Sundays. Both spend their time idly apart, Tom at his office and Eddie moping around outside his apartment building. Eventually Tom guesses that Eddie is spending his Sundays alone and Eddie confesses. Eddie, consoling the mistaken Miss Bristol, said "You didn't meddle. You just didn't know what you were talking about."
