Burning Bed

Overview

When Roger narrowly escapes death after his mattress catches fire, Annie takes him shopping for a new one; but, when the two have a close encounter on a mattress in the department store. Roger interprets the incident as a sign from God. Convinced that God spared his life so he could start a relationship with Annie, Roger tells Annie that fate has brought them together. When Annie rejects him, he disappears and Annie, Didi and Elliot spend all night looking for him. Charlotte Rae, who played a house-mother to series star Nancy McKeon's character, ""Jo"" on ""The Facts of Life"" (1979-88), makes a cameo appearance as Helen, a bitter woman who applies for a job with Annie because her husband of 26 years recently left her for a blonde hygienist.
