First camera shot: Peggy puts something into a bowl, Al comes down the stairs.

Synopsis: Peggy and Al together visit a marriage counselor - but wind up leaving separately. Meanwhile, Kelly fights in the ring for a part in a boxing movie.

General note: Parts 1 and 2 were originally shown as a one-hour episode. Peggy's birthday is given as April 12. The taping of this episode was delayed after an earlier, more serious draft of the script was deemed unsuitable. Earlier drafts of the script featured Al instigating the break-up after Peggy admits that she lied about being pregnant to make him commit to marrying her. "Breaking Up is Easy to Do" was initially planned as a two-part story.

Influences: The episode title is inspired by the song "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" by Neil Sedaka. Peggy quotes from Gloria Gaynor's song I will survive.
