Anyone who has ever had to decide how to help a relative suffering from a serious illness will relate to this episode. Grace's grandfather has Alzheimers, and he is to the point where he can't live alone much longer. The show does an excellent job of portraying the sadness of the disease in a gentle, sometimes even humorous way. From family experience, I can say that it's a disease where sometimes you have to laugh so you don't cry.

Grace's sister Page is a force of nature and hand sanitizer--another funny part of the show that also has a serious side.

Watch for Grace and Butch to renew their relationship somewhat. We get more background from Butch on what happened between Grace and him.

Ham isn't as involved in this episode, which made me sad because I'm such a KJ fan.
