I'm not sure what the age gap is between David and Ricky is (yes, I'll look it up when I'm done with this series), but I'm guessing it's no more than three years, since David tries to set up his kid brother with the title character after making a date with a Spanish girl. Most of the characters in this episode are not bilingual, although Ricky knows un poco español. Farce results when the duenna thinks Ozzie is her date, even though he says he's been "casabaed for twenty-one years" to Harriet. There's some stereotyping here but not as bad as I feared, and the little bits of music are nice.
Skip Young plays David's friend Wally, as he would in "Rick Gets Even." Dick Bensfield, Perry Grant, and Jay Sommers co-wrote "Gets Even" as well as this episode, while Don Nelson worked on all three of the O & H episodes we've looked at so far. Ozzie co-wrote, directed, etc. as usual.
