Episode 15 begins with Corinne's arrival in prison,featuring a rare acting cameo from the attractive creator-writer-producer Susan Harris as Babette,a hooker posing as a travel agent(charging a hundred dollars to go around the world),who recognizes Chester("hi,Chet!").Meanwhile,in Ecuador,we are introduced to Corinne's natural parents,Ingrid Svenson(Inga Swenson),the Tates' Swedish maid,and Randolph Gatling(Bernard Fox),Mary and Jessica's brother,exiled to South America by his mother,who wanted the baby to be raised by his sister Jessica as a Tate.How a single homicide in Dunn's River,Connecticut would find its way to a newspaper in Ecuador is never explained,but the story of Corinne's arrest leads Ingrid to travel back to the US to see her daughter(this was the only episode in which we see the long-lost Randolph,who looks and sounds like the stiff-upper-lip British type).An increasingly irrational Burt starts conducting his own investigation into Peter's death,while Mary keeps tabs on her son Jodie,worried about him trying to kill himself again.Tiring of running from the Mob,Danny decides to confront Mr. Lefkowitz,who's still out to kill him,but ends up in the bedroom of Elaine Lefkowitz(Dinah Manoff),his daughter,who offers to help Danny,if he can keep her satisfied(truly lust at first sight).
