'''Love Me, Love My Skipper''' is the 20th Episode of the Second Season. It aired February 3, 1964.

==Synopsis==
The [[Howell's Hut|Howells]] have decided to have their Annual cotillion on the island in stead of skipping it, and they invite all the [[Castaways]] to celebrate it with them. [[Mr. Howell]] take it upon himself to deliver them himself, but as he's enjoying the novelty of delivering them, he walks into a tree and drops the [[Skipper]]'s invitation, failing to notice he has lost it. After [[Gilligan]] gets his invitation under the door of his hut, the Skipper goes looking for his and visits the [[Professor]] and the [[Girl's Hut|girls]], side-stepping around the fact he hasn't got his invitation yet. By afternoon, it still hasn't been found, and everyone leaps to the conclusion that the Skipper wasn't invited. They all decide to skip the Howell's cotillion and have a costume party to honor the Skipper. When the Howells realize they've been shunned, their effort to understand why it happened turns into a fight between them and they split up. Meanwhile, Gilligan is searching for a costume from the stuff in the [[Supply Hut]], and when he heads back to it, he discovers the lost invitation in the thick grass. Finding it cleans up the confusion, but both the Howells are still at odds. [[Ginger]] invites [[Mrs. Howell]] to their party, and [[Mary Ann]] invites [[Mr. Howell]] to the party. Ginger then arranges to have the sizes of her costume and Mrs. Howell's altered so they'll have to switch them at the party. At the party, Gilligan dresses as Tarzan, swinging into camp on a vine and smashing into a hut. As he's being taken care of, Mr. Howell shows up thinking he's going to dance with Ginger dressed as Marie Antoinette, unaware he's actually dancing with his wife. When he tells "Ginger" that he's still in love with his wife, Mrs. Howell removes her mask and all is forgiven between them. The following morning, the Skipper wakes and surveys the mess from the party. When Gilligan shows up, he hands him the broom and tells him to get busy cleaning up before sitting and relaxing. As he sweeps, Gilligan announces how much he hates parties.

==Trivia==
* The episode opens on the [[Boy's Hut]], but the scene actually starts with the [[Howell's Hut|Howells]] in their hut.
* This episode shows an exterior glimpse of the proximity of the [[Howell's Hut]] to the [[Supply Hut]] to its right and the communal table in the center. In [[Feed the Kitty]], the [[Girl's Hut]] is placed on the other side of the Howells which would have it facing the Supply Hut on the other side beyond the communal area. (The [[Boy's Hut]] is never shown in this arrangement.) However, in most episodes, it's suggested that each hut is part of it's own clearing with nothing but jungle outside the entrance.
* During the costume party, Gilligan is Tarzan, the Skipper is a pirate, Mr. Howell is Little Lord Fauntleroy, Mrs. Howell is Marie Antoinette, Ginger is an Oriental dancing girl, the Professor is Julius Caesar and Mary Ann is a Hillbilly girl. The costumes possibly came from the movie crate in [[Castaways Pictures Presents]].
