It makes it's first appearance after Deputy Ed Tilwick, finds his friend Fred McConnell drunk and gutted over the fact that his daughter Mindy is now living with a man, Mork, (unmarried!) in her apartment. At the exhortation of Fred McConnell Tilwick undertakes to 'scare off' the newly arrived Mork, but finds him so bizarre that he feels he has to 'do his duty' and arrests him, bringing him in where he's promptly scheduled for a sanity hearing in the Center. A hearing where Mindy arrives to speak passionately on his behalf, which begins his questioning of Orkan's unemotional detachment in regards to the fate of others, before Mork deploys his couple of days exposure to the Perry Mason and court room dramas launching a defense of his behavior. A defense that ultimately uncovers a ménage a trois between the prosecutor, the psychiatrist and the court reporter which leaves the hearing in chaos, and Mork in the clear (Pilot)
Mork makes another appearance at the Center when he misunderstands his new friend, Russian immigrant, Sergei Khruschev, when he tells him that all 'aliens' must be registered, or face deportation after a certain date. Not understanding that the term alien applies to foreign nationals, Mork attends with Sergei to register, where his answers to the registration form, and his complete lack of identification quickly gets him noticed and taken into custody by the Center's guards. Only Mindy's rapid arrival on discovering where he went, and quick thinking on discovering he's in trouble, getting him to tell the Clerk the truth of where he comes from, how he got there, and how he drinks, gets him out of trouble. The clerk now convinced that he's just nuts. (Mork and the Immigrant).
While Mindy thought that was enough to end the matter, Mork's 'paperwork' bound to have been discarded as just the ravings of the mentally unbalanced, about a year later Mork discovers differently, when further investigation into his registration form occurs, and Mork heads to the Center to speak to a judge. Appearing in full Uncle Sam dress in an effort to sway matters, it doesn't carry much weight, and when Mindy rapidly arrives on finding out where he's gone, the judge informs her that his paperwork is still extant from the previous year and there are some outstanding matters to be addressed. The culmination of which is, that Mork must present his passport and birth certificate within 5 days or be deported. The only other way he can stay in the country is to marry an American Citizen. That option is expanded later when Mork's young friend Judd tells him of hearing how foreign nationals can also be adopted, which ultimately results in a return to the Justice Center where Mork becomes the adopted son of Exidor.
