Fortunately for Gerda, she demonstrates her Charlton Romance Fisticuffs credentials and impresses the exes by assaulting a guy with a tacky bolo tie. That'll keep the chicks at bay!

Eric responds to her helicoptering by becoming a domineering jerk. Eventually, she consults his mother and figures out how to manipulate him with reverse psychology. I'm sure they'll make some divorce lawyers very wealthy someday.

Just Married #92 has a number of creepy aspects, but none creepier than this demonstration that Charlton had run out of sexy characters from The Partridge Family to feature in its romance titles' pin-up pages.
