On the series[]
In They Shoot Managers, Don't They?, Shirley feels that Reuben should have a wife. She thinks Reuben and Cathleen would be perfect for each other, so she invites them both to a barbecue at the Partridges' house. Reuben and Cathleen hit it off, and Reuben sees her as a woman without faults. Before long they're engaged. However, Cathleen wants Reuben to use his business abilities to help her with her cosmetics business, which means Reuben will have to quit managing the Partridge Family. He books them for one last gig in Seattle and then prepares to go to Paris for his wedding with Cathleen. However, before the two of them leave the country, Reuben realizes that Cathleen doesn't like kids. Reuben, who despite his child-hating persona actually does want kids, breaks off the engagement.
