In this episode, which probably would've been done better as a Three's Company plot, Oscar enters a cooking contest and one of his rivals, Barbara (Maryln Mason, who would later play be Lisa), "seduces" (kisses and flirts with) Oscar in order to find out Felix's secret recipe. I again feel like they're writing Oscar dumber than he needs to be; why would he trust a woman he just met, especially considering how cynical he is about some things? Note that Garry Marshall not only co-wrote this with Belson, but this was his directorial debut (as he discusses on the commentary).
Walter Janovitz, Judge #1 here, would have an uncredited role as I do not know what (thanks, IMDB) later in the year.
