Bess, You Is My Daughter Now
The 1st half of this episode is good, with some sweet moments as Mary looks after Bess, but it does fall away a little towards the end.
Nice to see the characters at the newsroom being fleshed out a bit more though, and the 'cuss' scene between Mary and Lou was fab.
A mixed but enjoyable episode on the whole.
