• Les meeting his real Dad.
• Venus is getting offers to join a higher-rated radio station and Andy is trying to offer everything under the sun not to lose one of his top DJs. Meanwhile, Herb is going around saying he's getting a lucrative job offer as well, and everyone's patting him out the door. Venus finds out that the other radio station is pre-programmed (literally: there's a computer sitting in the middle of the room) and he won't have any say on what music he gets to play: he's only getting hired to be the local 'Face' of the station. Returning dejected to WKRP, Venus meets with an equally dejected Herb who reveals he lied about another station wanting him: he was feeling jealous that Venus was getting the attention. So when Andy comes one more time to offer Venus a sweetheart deal, Venus asks that Andy include keeping Herb as part of the deal.
• It's a minor you-might-miss-it moment in the hilarious "Turkeys Away" episode. At the beginning, Carlson tries to demonstrate what authority he has at his station by asking Jennifer to get him a cup of coffee. Jennifer sweetly rebuffs, pointing out she negotiated a "no-getting-coffee" clause in her contract. After the turkey fiasco when a humiliated Carlson returns to the station, Jennifer offers to get him coffee as a way of telling him she's concerned for him.
• When Les caught the baseball during the game with the rival station.
  • Earlier in the episode, Carlson is at bat and the rival station's manager, confident the Big Guy will strike out, pulls all of his fielders off the diamond to humiliate him further. Carlson responds with a powerful hit. While the other team scrambles to get the ball, Carlson triumphs by calmly walking 'round the bases, scoring the go-ahead run.
• The gang visiting Jennifer on Christmas Eve, thinking she was spending the holidays alone. Each one brought a tree with them, except Herbert, prompting Andy to tell him, "You can't come in without a tree." Jennifer was genuinely touched, although she did have plans to fly to Bethlehem with a wealthy paramour(what Johnny called "a real down-home Christmas").
