Short summary
Willie's relationship with Big Al is complicated by Salina's surprise reappearance in his life. Doug considers relocating the family to New York.
Actress Jane Actman played the role of Nancy Lawrence Maitland when this episode was first shot, so when Meredith Baxter-Birney replaced her in the role, they had to re-shoot her scenes, with Baxter-Birney having to duplicate Actman's performance completely, both physically and vocally.
The title is based upon a quote from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet": (Act II, Scene II): "Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow."
