I made up this episode, didn't I?

I have an emotionally vivid memory of watching an episode of Mork and Mindy where they were held captive by an alien (?) and forced to choose who would live or die. They of course escaped unharmed, but I never forgot the terror of the thought of having to choose between your own death or living with the death of your loved one. But I can't find any record of this episode. I assume I'm making it up, but what other early 80s show might I be confusing it with?

Does anything look familiar at TVTropes under Cold Equation or Someone Has To Die ?

That sounds really dark for an episode of Mork + Mindy.

I looked through the episode guide and the closest I found was Mork vs. the Nectrotons, part 2 in which, according to the episode guide, Mork + Mindy are held captive by an alien Raquel Welch, who threatens to kill Mindy unless Mork sleeps with her (her = Welch, obviously).
