Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C- | 581 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Through the Looking Glass

By Couch Baron | Season 6 | Episode 8 | Aired on 2013.05.19

Don's digging through the archives in search of soup, and instead finds... oatmeal? Specifically, it's a boy eating the stuff and smiling up at his mother next to the tagline "Because you know what he needs." I'm surprised they didn't make the drawing of the woman look exactly like Miss Swenson, as that's about how subtle this whole plotline is...

...and let's drive that home by taking yet another trip back to The Best Little Coughhouse In Pennsylvania. Don is looking better, and as he sits up, Miss Swenson tells him that his fever broke, and to call her "Amy," not "Aimee" as she had earlier told him. She then asks him if he likes the mole she apparently just painted on her cheek, and by the way, the woman in the drawing we just saw had the same beauty mark, so apparently I'm not even safe using hyperbole to make a point about the show's lost subtlety. Anyway, when he tells her he is in favor, she asks him if he likes girls, and he gets shifty and embarrassed in response, just in case you were wondering if that had ever been possible. After pulling up the covers to get a non-verbal answer to her question, she gets into bed with him and promises him they'll do everything...
