Lou Grant realizes he’s in over his head when the new boss at the radio station turns out to be a woman—who promptly falls in love with him.

Ann Marie moves out of Brewster, New York to an apartment in New York City, with the help of her agent Harvey Peck (Ronnie Schell), much to the chagrin of her father (Lew Parker).

In his efforts to help Tim (Bill Bixby) pay his household expenses, Uncle Martin (Ray Walston) tries to raise money by creating paintings in the exact styles of such famous artists as Van Gogh. The plan backfires when it is Tim, rather than Martin, who is lauded as an artistic genius--and as a result, Tim is coerced into giving a public demonstration of his painting process! (Richard Deacon of The Dick Van Dyke Show fame makes his second My Favorite Martian appearance, this time in the role of a wealthy art patron).

A Martian drug turns Mrs. Brown into a piano virtuoso.

Tony tells Jeannie and Roger he has been shifted out of the space program to head a company producing booster rockets, because the only other prospect turned down the job. Learning of Tony's new assignment, Dr. Bellows announces his own resignation, stating that he stayed only to observe Tony's behavior, and now plans to write a book about it. Tony begs Gen. Peterson to keep him at the base but Peterson feels he's more useful running the missile plant. When Jeannie describes how miserable Tony is about his forced reassignment, Roger feels if Tony could see himself in the new job, he might find a way to turn it down. Jeannie blinks and projects Tony's worst day, with two pretty secretaries, a gorgeous office and top production. Jeannie and Roger realize this won't have the desired effect. Prodded by Roger, Jeannie shows Tony a picture of himself at work, late at night, in a dreary office, desk piled high with papers. While Gen. Peterson complains that Tony is sabotaging the missile program, two dowdy secretaries, Sally and Aggie, nag for a raise. To Jeannie and Roger's surprise, Tony insists on getting to the plant before the contract is cancelled. Then Roger recalls that Prof. Lakewood's wife refused to leave Connecticut. Jeannie fills their home with snakes and Prof. Lakewood pleads for the missile job. Later, Roger complains he hasn't a date. Jeannie blinks, and Sally, the whiner, appears.
