The Love Boat is a pretty feel good show, with numerous storylines: some dramatic, some funny, some in between...but they all get resolved in an hour always leaving passengers happy as they disembark to head home.
This episode is unique as it's the only one (that I know of) that features an unhappy ending for a passenger couple (the show seems to save its sad outcomes exclusively for the crew, who all lose numerous loves in various ways over the seasons).
The other storylines in this two-parter are typical TLB fare, but the one featuring John Forsythe and Ursula Andress stays with you. Both actors are compelling in making you believe they are truly in love, but despite any hope you have for a typical ending, tragedy befalls them. In rewatching the series sometimes I choose not to watch this episode because it ends on a sadder note, sometimes I steel myself and go for it. This is a memorable one simply because it's a little different than the rest.
