I must say I love this episode. I love the tension between ALF and Dorothy. XD And I love ALF's scriptwriting skills. The last line of his script, which goes something like "you didn't lose your best friend; your best friend's right here" (sorry for paraphrasing, my memory's poor) was really heartwarming.

This is probably my least favorite episode of the season, tied with Try to Remember parts 1 & 2, since those consisted mostly of clips from previous episodes. I gave this a 3-star rating. It's an okay episode as far as this season goes, but don't come close to most of the other episodes of the season.
