Rita (Three's Company)

Rita (Tori Lysdahl) is the villainess in the 1980 episode "Diamond Jack" for the TV series "Three's Company".
When Jack expects a call from a blind date that Larry has arranged, an attractive brunette woman, who is a jewel thief, calls Jack's number by mistake and leaves a message on his answering machine. She gives a description of her looks and what she would be wearing, a black leotard, and asks him to meet her at the Venice Roller Rink. Jack meets her, and thinking that Jack is a fence, the jewel thief Rita slips a pouch of "hot" diamonds in his pocket and sets a date to meet him at his place later that evening.
Jack, then, thinking that the girl who called him on the phone was his blind date, the real blind date named Sally, obliges her and meets her at the rink, although he can't skate. The roommates discover the diamonds just before Rita and her partner Tony arrive at the apartment demanding their money. The trio pretends to go along with the scheme while devising a plan to escape, but not before the cops come to arrest them all, including the trio.
The lovely brunette Rita, which jack mistook for the blind date, Sally on the phone, was actually the wrong number, was not the intended blind date. The cops arrest all of them including Jack, Janet, Terri, and Larry. Down at the police station, Rita supposedly said to the arresting officers "That dumb punk (Jack) is innocent".
