The title says it! I'm still watching the series but this may be one of the definitive TV episodes of all time. A confrontational centerpiece which brings together all the conflicts in the series, while still retaining a sense of black comedy...especially when the tension is broken in one particular scene, where it is both uncomfortable & funny, then just plain uncomfortable. This is a series that maturely builds up to a showdown like this, unlike most shows which hit soap opera from episode 1.
And the ending is perfect. Affectionate, wild, and fun. A wide variety of tones (as the series demonstrates consistently) culminating in a masterpiece of a TV episode. Goes to show it was written by Ann Biderman & filmed by Liev Schreiber, which especially makes it definitive.
