 At the beginning of the episode , Mork , Mindy and Bickley ( Tom Poston ) are all sitting around feeling depressed . Mindy has just learned that Mork 's supervisor Orson has arranged for Mork to be transferred to another planet , and Bickley is suffering from writer 's block . Their friend Susan comes by to visit , and suggests that they all go and attend a seminar on Ellsworth 's Revitalization Konditioning . As the guests arrive at the seminar , Ellsworth nervously asks Susan if all of the attendants ' checks are in order . He then lays out the rules for the duration of the training , which includes no leaving and no consumption of alcohol . When Bickley hears this , he promptly gets up to leave the seminar .
