When the episode begins, Rob and Laura are in the car driving from a dinner out at a restaurant with Buddy, Pickles, Sally and her date. Laura is fuming mad...and makes sure Rob knows she is. But when he asks her what's the problem, she says "You Know!!"...though he clearly doesn't! She continues with her anger until eventually she tells him she's mad because he picked up the check...and does this to make people like him. Rob is perplexed by this and through much of the episode, Laura deals with her anger by sulking, giving Rob the cold shoulder AND saying she has a headache and won't make him breakfast the next morning. Clearly, Laura is NOT fighting fair but does she have a point?
This is an okay episode, though I clearly am NOT a fan of shows where Rob or Laura (more often Laura) behave nasty and fight very unfair. To me, this is a theme they went to too often...unless the show was trying to show them as having a terrible marriage...which they didn't, as evidenced by the man episodes showing the couple loving each other. This is confusing and one of the few things I don't like about the show. Still, the episode is interesting...despite Laura's testiness.
