Featured review
The Incident
We find out that Claire is daddy's girl and Mitchell is mummy's boy.
Shelley Long is Dede. Jay's ex wife and Claire and Mitchell's mother. Unhappy that Jay had moved on, she had caused an embarrassing scene at Jay's wedding to Gloria.
Now she wants to apologise and she drops in on Mitchell to set everything in motion.
There were several laughs here and it is nice to see the extended family interacting. I noticed during th squabble Phil got a good hold of his step mother in law.
There is even a song as Haley's rock musician boyfriend Dylan shows up. He gives a heartwarming speech about the importance of families and then sings a disconcerting song.
