Storyline

- TriviaLaurie Metcalf opens the episode with a nine-minute monologue, reminiscent of her famous speech in the Broadway production of Lanford Wilson's A Balm in Gilead.
- GoofsAt the very end of the show, after Sarah leaves, and Uncle Pete says something and sets down a glass of beer to Horace. The camera cuts to a wider shot of Horace at the table and there is only one glass of beer there.
After listening to Louis on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, he stated that they filmed that part with Uncle Pete first, because the actor, Alan Alda, was leaving town for the week. So, I get the reason of why they couldn't fix it since they were publishing the episodes right after they shot them.
Featured review
A Masterpiece of in our time
This episode hit home so hard that it left me in tears by the end. Having lived through a marriage with a cheating spouse for years. Having made excuses for their actions by blaming myself, for just one example. Trying to justify what she was doing and how that eventually effected me, and still effects me and the way my brain is now, possibly, permanently wired. Watching this incredibly well written, well acted episode of Horace & Pete made a difference in the way I think about all that time spent, and the gut wrenching pain I went through - I never thought about what she went through. Don't get me wrong, there isn't an excuse for her or for any cheater, but she still went through something. And as traumatic as it was for me, it was for her too. Not like that mattered in the end, divorce was eventual and inevitable. Once my kids were a little older I could leave her and now my relationship with my children is better than ever. But in my minds eye, for her.... After watching this episode I just feel sorry for her, but I don't hate her. I can put it aside, but never be able to forget. Regardless, this episode brought all this up and it was an amazing experience on a personal level and a must see for anyone in that kind of situation, on both sides. This episode can also be a good episode for anyone that doesn't like Louis CK. Their misunderstanding of the man can be seen and explained within the subject matter of this episode seeing as how it was written and directed by the man. The lesson is people can do bad things and still not be bad people.
