It Happened Two Nights, Four Costume Changes is the eighteenth episode of the second season of Empty Nest and the thirty-ninth episode overall. Directed by Steve Zuckerman and written by David Tyron King, it premiered on NBC-TV on February 17th, 1990.
When Laverne's husband is called out of town, Carol volunteers Harry to escort her to a baseball banquet. A friend of Nick's misinterprets Harry's status as Laverne's "date" and assumes that he's her revenge for Nick's ongoing affair. A furious Laverne phones Nick to tell him she's having an affair with Harry. Meanwhile, Carol and Barbara fight over what to do about a mouse about the house.
The episode's title is a reference to the 1934 pre-Code romantic comedy film It Happened One Night. The film depicts a pampered socialite trying to get out from under her father's thumb falling in love with a roguish reporter. The film is among the last romantic comedies created before the MPPDA began rigidly enforcing the 1930 Motion Picture Production Code in July 1934.
