- When a drunk accosts Laura and Rob in a downtown bar, Laura surprises Rob by using a judo throw that flattens the man. Rob begins to feel inadequate as the "protector" of his household and sets out to prove a point with Laura.
- Lying in the hospital in traction, Rob relays the story of how he sustained his injuries (which he implies were all Laura's fault) to his nurse, Miss Taylor. The story: Three days earlier when Rob and Laura were out for dinner, Laura was being harassed by a drunk. To protect his wife, Rob decided to challenge the drunk to a fight, believing the drunk would back down. After a very fast impromptu fight - leaving Rob floored with a sore nose and hurt pride - Laura herself knocked the drunk out with a judo move. Already feeling somewhat emasculated by the incident, Rob's situation became all the worse from being witnessed and reported by Ed Wilson, Rob's newspaper columnist friend. The resulting talk swirling around the incident implied that if Laura beat up the drunk and the drunk beat up Rob, then logically Laura could beat up Rob. As such, Laura now wore the pants in the family. To regain his manhood, Rob - although stating he didn't want to beat up Laura physically - deep in his heart knew he had to do something to that effect to regain his confidence, so when he learned that the show's chorus lead, Tony Daniels, knew judo himself, Rob took a few lessons to show Laura a few moves.—Huggo
