Summary

Mindy realizes that Mork has been acting even stranger than usual, especially when he brings home a chimpanzee that has escaped from the zoo. He admits that it has all been to bolster Mindy's spirits in preparation for the bad news that he is leaving. Mindy goes into a deep depression when Mork drops the bombshell that he has been ordered to leave Earth. With Mork unhappy and their neighbor, Bickley, suffering from writer's block, Mindy's friend Susan talks them into attending an Ellsworth Revitalization Konditioning (ERK) Seminar. But the intimidating Ellsworth is unprepared for Mork and his concepts.

  Well, don't worry, Ellsworth. Just losing your Rolls-Royce is a concept. Getting it back is reality.
