Mindy brings unhappy Mearth home from a sledding outing and informs Mork that other kids were not allowed to toboggan with their son because their parents thought he was an adult. Mork and Mindy realize they must tell Mearth that he is half alien. Even though Mork assures his son that eventually he will look like Earth children because he is aging backward and getting smaller, Mearth wants to go to Ork and runs away. After Mindy's father sees Mearth taken away by a group of black-robed Utopian cultists, Mindy remembers that Utopians have a lodge in the mountains. She and Mork charge to the rescue

mearth
Daddy, can I borrow one of you new razer blades? Mine are all dull from trying to sharpen my crayons.
mork
Oh, surely son.
mearth
See, I just want to get real clean, so I can play with the kids and they in turn will play with me. You know, solitary is a game, but its not a way of life.

mork
Son, you see, I was sent here to observe, I met your mother and she could'nt keep her hands off me and the rest is history.
mindy
So, that means your half Orkan and half Earthling.
mearth
Is that why I am different from the other kids?
mork
Well, just for a little while, you see, the Okan part of you is aging backwards, that's why you're getting smaller and the older you get the younger you look, just like Lina Horne.
