    Adam Wade as Mr. Right

    "Willona's Mr. Right" opens with JJ's latest advertising campaign for the horrible tasting Formosa Punch, though Bookman labels it 'scrumptious!' Returning from a three year odyssey in Alaska is Willona's old flame Frank Mason (Adam Wade), proposing marriage with an impressive diamond ring. The news of Willona's recent motherhood serves as no deterrent, Frank still yearning to get married and adopt Penny as well. Willona's concerned about her little girl's roots, and doesn't want them both to be uprooted for places unknown. Penny sees the two embrace and decides that it would be easier if she runs away, getting advice about kissing from JJ the expert: "that don't mean nothing, plenty of my girls kiss me and that don't mean they love me, some don't even like me, many of them don't even know me!" Frank Mason would be back once more in "Willona's New Job," repeating the sales pitch from this episode.
