Pam! Oh Pam! Please don't get on that plane- It's got a bomb!!

Good suspenser from our favorite TV couple. Seems they go to Mexico City to find a reclusive writer from Jerry's publishing outfit. Okay, no problem there. At the same time, however, an angry young Laura has jilted her inconstant boyfriend and now she's planning to fly back to NYC to get away from him. So what does the boyfriend do to retaliate-- he puts a bomb aboard her luggage. At the same time, Jerry won't let Pam go into the wilds of Mexico to help find the missing writer. So what does Jerry do-- he buys Pam an airline ticket back to NYC. And of course we know what plane it's on. Now it's nail-biting time as the passengers line up, the luggage loads, and the plane takes off. Oh my, is this the end of the Norths. Stay tuned.

(The episode reminds me of a 1955 calamity when mass-murderer John Gilbert Graham blew up a passenger plane over Colorado so as to collect insurance money on his mom of all people. 44 people including Mom died. Fortunately, he was caught, and executed in 1957.)
