This is a wonderful episode that capitalizes on all of the series' best attributes---great characters, a great premise, and great acting.
Mary and Dick decide to try double dating with another couple instead of spending all their time with Dick's family. Meanwhile Sally, Harry and Tommy discover laundromats.
Mary and Dick hit it off swimmingly with Gwen and Larry (Laura and Commander Riker!), but then the couple seems standoffish. Sally, Harry and Tommy find that laundromats have their own, complex set of rules. What comes of these two scenarios are unexpected twists that are a hallmark of the series and the basis for much of its humor.
