    Second Baptism for Jessica

    This is the second time in the series for Jessica's baptism. The first was in the 1980 episode "The Loan".

    LIONEL IS GONE

    Jenny announces that lionel can't go to the baptism because he is in japan with a new job assignment/project.

    I believe the last episode that lionel filmed was the blazing episode.
