Maurice is having a wax figure made of himself to put in Madame Tussaud's museum in Europe. It is quite a likeness but has this severity about it. People who come to visit find it really creepy. He can't see past his ego. But there are bumps in the road. Chris, who always lives life in the fast lane, finds out that he has high blood pressure and with medication he can outlive all his family members. This is disturbing to him. We also get to meet John the traveling dentist. People treat him like a ghoul because, well, he is a dentist and they fear him. The Chris thing is really sad but typical.

One of the funniest episodes so far..
HUXLEYedwards2 April 2018
Watching NE for the first time, doing the whole series
and now at Episode 03 of season 05.
"Jaws of Life" .
The series has been breaking up in consistency since middle of Season 04 and some episodes honestly hard to get through some coming cliche downright boring and uninspired acting and writing.
This episode is pure GOLD ! A very cool story arc, interpersonal introspection,revelation of characters. Very honest look at some of the psychology of key players with some very clear heavy COMEDY writing on this with amazing timing and creative editing.
I noticed a few new comedy elements, from the episode before this one, where Minnifeld has a small heart attack. He jumps from a Waterfall at the end of the episode and the joke is, the guy is clearly not him who is doing the technical swan dive.. it's sooo funny.
There is a gut busting comedy situation with each scene and every character.
An awesome scene with Ed becoming a DJ for a few days and has a cool demeanor., different attitude appears.
Interestingly, Fleishman is not in this episode. (away doing immunization at a school) This show would have worked without him, and understand he leaves middle of Season 6.
