Episode #58 - "Whenever I Feel Afraid"
After being mugged at gunpoint, Laverne becomes too fearful to leave her house. Carol and Barbara compete for the attention of an attractive new neighbor. This episode aired during Season 3 and was pivotal in the development of the Laverne character, finally showing her vulnerable side after two seasons of establishing her hard-edged personality.
It's the two year anniversary of Carol and Barbara's move back home, but the celebration is halted when the girls both announce that they're moving out. Each of the characters pour their hearts out to Dreyfuss in this fun and revealing episode from Season 3.
This is the original script for the "More to Love" episode. In this script, which never actually aired as written here, Barbara is having doubts about an overweight coworker taking her to the police department's Halloween party -- meanwhile, Harry and Laverne hand out candy at her apartment and Carol and Patrick attend the police department party as Madame Curie and Radium. When Kristy McNichol left the series, the Halloween plots featuring Harry & Laverne and Carol & Patrick were reworked into the episode "It's Not Easy Being Green." "More to Love" actually aired later in the season and revolved around Emily, who accompanied Carol's overweight friend to a high school reunion.
