Fall 1987. Enter Sandy Duncan, the petite actress with plenty of comedic timing, to take over ... not as Valerie Hogan (remember, Val and her friend were [[McLeaned sent to Heaven]]) but as Michael's kid sister, Sandy. Sandy took a job as guidance counselor at the high school David attended; the series was re-titled ''Valerie's Family: The Hogans''. The focus of several episodes during the 1987-1988 season focused on Val's passing and their grief, but none made such a profound impact as the episode "Burned Out." The consummate HouseFire episode, the storyline is sparked (literally) by a poorly made lamp stored in the attic developing a short circuit and catching fire; the fire remains small enough for several hours but by the time the Hogans are getting ready for bed, Sandy smells smoke and alerts Michael, who upon investigation immediately evacuates the house; the fire eventually spreads through the rest of the house and causes major damage. Many keepsakes and mementos of the family's were destroyed in the attic and second floor, but the piece having the greatest emotional effect was a charred framed photo of Valerie, which David found in his room. Upon finding it, he broke down in tears; Sandy comes in and, comforting David, shares his grief. The Hogans stay with the Pooles (Willard Scott had a guest role as Mrs. Poole's husband, Peter) while their home is repaired. The episode -- financed and sponsored by [=McDonalds=] -- well-received by critics and fans alike, not only for the safety aspect but presenting a reality some families face in dealing with grief: losing a loved one, and not long thereafter a fire destroys most, if not all, of the momentoes of that person.
