A very funny and well-made episode

The first reviewer of this episode really did a great job,I see no reason to add to their fine synopsis because they nailed it! I can,perhaps,make some more-general observations,and first of all is that this episode is truly very funny! Everyone involved does an honest job of it and the result is truly something special. The nuanced but outrageous writing,the inspired directing,the talented group of actors and the way they all work together without anyone overdoing it or hogging the spotlight, it is all a joy to behold. This episode of this show is awesome !
