"Paternity" is the first episode of the eighth and last season of ''Series/BarneyMiller''.
A Wendy [=McWilliams=], a lovely young woman who is in town for a beauty pageant, is flipping through mug books because she got mugged. Harris and Dietrich respond to a call of a disturbance at a movie theater and bring in a disappointed patron, Arthur Frane. It seems that Mr. Frane was watching a film called "Arbor Day" that turned out to be a slasher flick. Mr. Frane was so disgusted that he broke into the booth, assaulted the projectionist, and destroyed the print.
Meanwhile, Wojo is troubled. He tells Barney that he has gotten served with a paternity suit from one of his girlfriends of the week. Wojo is pretty preoccupied with the prospect of fatherhood, but when he comes back from a test at the doctor's office, he's even more preoccupied. It turns out that Wojo is off the hook for the paternity suit--because he's sterile.
