According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Too Many Girls (Davy and Fern)" - the fifteenth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (19 December 1966).  It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Dave Evans, directed by James Frawley, and featured the song "I'm a Believer."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "A scheming stage mom plots to place her doe-eyed daughter alongside Davy in a dynamic duo."
