Jennifer Falls in Love is the fifth episode of the second season of the popular sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. The show revolves around a group of radio station employees who struggle to deliver quality content while dealing with their personal lives.

In this episode, the station's program director, Andy Travis, takes a day off to play golf with his girlfriend Linda. Meanwhile, Jennifer Marlowe, the station's beautiful and intelligent receptionist, starts to develop feelings for their new salesman, Rex Erhardt.

Jennifer tries to hide her feelings for Rex, but it becomes obvious to everyone at the station and even the listeners. Her co-worker, Les Nessman, tries to help her by offering some advice and suggesting that she should take a chance and tell Rex how she feels.

Rex, on the other hand, is completely clueless about Jennifer's feelings towards him and remains focused on his work. He tries to impress Andy by coming up with a new sales campaign for the station, which involves hiring a local celebrity to endorse their products.

The rest of the staff at WKRP try to help Jennifer by setting up a fake interview with Rex, where they hopes she can express her feelings to him. However, things do not go as planned, and Jennifer ends up embarrassing herself in front of Rex.

As the day progresses, Jennifer's feelings for Rex intensify, but she still struggles to find the courage to tell him how she feels. Meanwhile, Andy and Linda have the perfect day playing golf, but their relationship hits a bump when Andy realizes that Linda has some flaws.

As the episode comes to a close, Jennifer finally musters the courage to tell Rex about her feelings, but it's unclear how he responds. The episode does a great job of exploring the theme of unrequited love and how difficult it can be to express your feelings to someone you care about.

Overall, Jennifer Falls in Love is a fantastic episode that showcases the strengths of the show's writing and cast. The character development is excellent, and the storyline is both funny and heartfelt. It's a must-watch for fans of the series and anyone who enjoys a well-written sitcom.
