Ep 6. Green-Eyed Dick

In the 6th episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun's first season, entitled "Green-Eyed Dick," the Solomons continue their exploration of human emotions and relationships. The episode centers around Harry (played by French Stewart) and his newfound jealousy towards his colleague and friend, Dr. Mary Albright (played by Jane Curtin).

Harry becomes increasingly envious of Mary's interactions with her ex-boyfriend, William (played by Chris Hogan), who she has befriended since their breakup. Harry's jealousy morphs into paranoia, as he becomes convinced that Mary and William are rekindling their romance behind his back. Meanwhile, the rest of the Solomon crew attempts to help Harry navigate his overwhelming emotions.

Throughout the episode, the Solomons struggle to understand human jealousy and its effects on relationships. While Sally (played by Kristen Johnston) and Tommy (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) try to assuage Harry's insecurities, Dick (played by John Lithgow) takes a more analytical approach, trying to understand the root of Harry's jealousy and how to reconcile his feelings.

As Harry's paranoia reaches a fever pitch, he engages in a series of misguided attempts to uncover Mary and William's supposed affair, leading to a comedic sequence of events that includes Harry spying on Mary through a cardboard tube and attempting to break into her apartment.

Ultimately, the Solomons work together to help Harry process his emotions and reconcile with Mary. The episode ends with a heartwarming moment between Harry and Mary, as he confesses his insecurities and the two share a hug.

"Green-Eyed Dick" is a classic example of 3rd Rock from the Sun's signature blend of wacky humor and heartfelt moments. Through Harry's jealousy and its eventual resolution, the episode explores the complexities of human relationships and the importance of communication and understanding.
