I guess Noelle was too temperamental to continue.

Warning: Spoilers
Having recurred in a few episodes of the past few seasons, Noelle is now gone, as gone as a juicy pork tenderloin. This leaves Suzanne in a lurch without something to focus her obsessive attention on, that is until Anthony is injured while lugging a heavy table for her, and she decides to take care of him, but not in a way that is beneficial to him. Suzanne doesn't realize that by blocking him on the steps with the marble table, she's completely responsible. Delta Burke and Meshach Taylor confirm the chemistry they had in the earlier episode where they shared a motel room.

Meanwhile, Mary Jo is visited by old classmate Ann Dusenberry whom she hated yet pretends to be rich by claiming to live in a client's mansion. Ironically, they live right next to Suzanne which ties the two stories together, and results in some very funny moments, especially for Taylor whose frustration over being Suzanne's proxy pig gives him some great opportunities to show off his tremendous comedic talent. A very memorable episode that shows how good the series could be when it went down right wacky as opposed to topical.
