Can anyone help me remember what episode this is. The situation is something like this:

Steven buys Andy a toy and its in a box. He gives Andy the toy in his playpen and then says something about Alex have a "box" as a toy when he was younger. And then Alex walks in and stares at the box and says, "Bubba".

What episode is this? It's been driving me crazy.

I copied this description of that episode from the episode guide:

89. You've Got a Friend (12/19/85)

Guilt-ridden after turning in a young shoplifter to the police, Mallory tries to become her friend.

Mallory begins to feel severe guilt after reporting a young girl to the police for shoplifting - especially when she learns that the girl is from a home for abused children. Mallory visits Jessie at the home but is suspicious of the girl's intentions.

Nick warns Mallory that she can't change Jessie overnight, but Mallory is sure that she can at least be a good influence

That is Episode 89 "You've Got a Friend" where Mallory catches a shoplifter named Jesse, then feels bad for her.

Mallory: I know you came into my room and read my diary Alex! Alex: Don't be silly, I just came into your room to get a book. Mallory: Ha! What would a book be doing in my room! Alex: shrugs She's got me there. Mallory: You guys, I would like you to meet someone. This is Jamie Carter. Alex: AHHH!!!! jumps onto Steven's lap Steven: Alex, she said "Jamie" not "Jimmy". Alex: to Jamie Oh. You should seriously consider getting that changed. Jennifer: There is nothing like a smile from a hunk. Mallory: I know, it's even better than when you walk into your classroom and you see a movie projector set up.
