Season thirteen is on an absolute roll, and "Show Mama from the Grave" is one of its finer installments so far. While not quite the funniest episode this season, it might be the most wholesome one yet. Without giving too much away, it was nice to learn a couple more details about Bob's mother while still maintaining the mystery surrounding her character as well as her relationship with Bob. The ending made an interesting choice that I wasn't sure how to feel about at first. However, the more I thought about it, the more I've actually grown to respect it for providing just the right amount of emotion without overdoing it. In a way, keeping certain moments private, even from the viewer, makes it feel even more powerful. Although there were ample laughs sprinkled throughout, I wouldn't call them peak-Bob's Burgers writing. However, I don't think that's really what this episode was intended to be. "Show Mama from the Grave" is one of my favorites this season for its wholesomeness and sweet nature.
