Ep 9. Boy Meets Dummy

Jack, Janet, and Terri are excited when they receive a free ventriloquist dummy from a local toy company as a promotion. Jack decides to try his hand at ventriloquism, but he quickly becomes frustrated when he discovers that he's not very good at it. After a few failed attempts, Jack becomes convinced that the dummy is cursed and decides to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, Larry convinces Mr. Furley to let him host a talent show at the apartment complex to raise money for a local children's hospital. Jack, Janet, and Terri agree to participate, but Jack is still nervous about performing with the dummy. As the talent show approaches, Jack becomes increasingly paranoid about the dummy and even begins to suspect that it's coming to life.

Things come to a head at the talent show when Jack's performance with the dummy goes horribly awry. The audience is left in shock as the dummy begins insulting Jack and even starts spouting off racist and sexist remarks. Jack tries desperately to regain control of the situation, but the dummy seems to have a mind of its own.

In the end, Jack is able to bring the situation under control and the talent show is a success. However, Jack remains convinced that the dummy is cursed and decides to get rid of it once and for all. The episode ends with Jack throwing the dummy out of the apartment window, only to have it land safely in the hands of a passing child who is thrilled to have a new toy.

Overall, "Boy Meets Dummy" is a hilarious and entertaining episode that showcases the comedic talents of the Three's Company cast. The storyline is absurd and over-the-top, but it's handled with enough wit and charm to keep the audience invested in what's happening on screen.
