Who would believe that Ted and Mary are having an affair? Maybe no one, but that doesn’t stop Ted from spreading rumors around the newsroom.

It looks like Mary’s friendship with Rhoda is going down the drain after Rhoda makes what Mary thinks is an unkind remark.

Dotty and her recently retired husband, Dr. Walt Richards, move to a home in town to be near their only daughter. Mary is delighted to see her parents, but when they find a place to live right around the corner, and start planning her evenings and weekends, Mary calls on Rhoda for advice on how to turn off over-solicitous parents.

Mary Richards can’t understand why her boss, Lou, keeps turning down her dinner invitation – until she has a phone conversation with his wife. After talking to Mrs. Grant and learning that the Grants are separated, Mary inadvertently becomes involved in their domestic affairs because Lou asks for her advice.

Lou’s promotion to program manager leaves Murray in charge of the newsroom, a task which (it is quickly apparent!) he is totally unqualified to handle.

Problems develop when one of Mary Richards’ ex-boyfriends returns to town. Mary discovers the flames of an old love can be difficult to extinguish, and she finds herself getting romantically involved again – against her better judgment. Tom Vernon is the charming but irresponsible man who broke Mary’s heart before and threatens to do it again unless her friends can rally around to save her from herself.

A quiet luncheon Mary hosted just for Ted and Georgette turns into an erratic spontaneous wedding. The newsman has proposed to Georgette numerous times before throughout their courtship, but after she accepted, he took no further steps toward matrimony. This time, when he proposes, it happens to be in Mary’s apartment, with the couple agreeing they should get married at that very instant, making Mary Richards the involuntary hostess of the whole hasty, bizarre but hilarious affair.

Mary Richards returns to her hometown for a high school class reunion and Rhoda Morgenstern goes along in the hope of finding an eligible bachelor among Mary’s ex-classmates. The reunion gets off to a dismal start when Estelle, the class president, needles Mary about being unmarried. The situation is further complicated when Howard Arnell, Mary’s un-favorite ex-boyfriend, arrives on the scene.
