Back together again.
16 January 2023
The concluding part of this three-part story sees Peggy throwing a dinner party for her date, a wealthy man named Bruce; the D'Arcys are also invited. During the meal, Bruce chokes on some food, which leads to the episode's funniest moment, Jefferson doing the Heimlich Maneuver on the man. "Jefferson must really want a job," comments Peggy as he thrusts repeatedly behind Bruce.

Al shows up at the house, having been invited by a mischievous Marcy. When Al sees that Peggy has a date, he hides the flowers he has brought her. Marcy takes a photo of the disappointed man: "Look Jefferson," she says with glee, "we have our Christmas card."

When Bruce tells Peggy that, should they marry, she'll be expected to cook and clean, and informs the kids that they will have to leave home, they're not happy and kick the bloke out. Peggy is really missing Al and goes to see him. After a chat, Al drives Peggy home but stops at Maple Lane where the couple had their first argument, followed by great make-up sex. History repeats itself.

It was obvious that Al and Peggy would get back together, but the break-up wasn't fun - I didn't like seeing them apart, and so much of the humour didn't land for me. Now that they have patched things up, let's hope that they are funnier than ever (for the remaining eight episodes).
