"Your Mother's Easier to Make Than Toast"
kgraovac11 November 2023
Jan's father and Dot's mother are paired up to keep the parents occupied during their visit. But when they stay out together all night, it causes a fight between the ladies.

The B-story has Sonny being conned into purchasing a burial plot from a sexy but sneaky saleswoman. When Amy thinks he's dying, Sonny uses the situation to guilt Amy into sleeping with him.

Ginger has a minor subplot about a handsome customer who accidentally overtipped her. Ginger's comment to Nancy about her dress, "It looks like you shot your drapes" could have been used for 90% of Nancy's wardrobe in the series.

Jan has the best line (to Dot) when she says, "Your mother's easier to make than toast!". There is a cute twist at the end regarding the parents.

This is another episode with too many subplots and not enough time devoted to the main story. K Callan returns as Dot's mother and this is Richard McKenzie's second appearance on the show, but his first appearance as Jan's father. He played a crabby customer in Season 2's "Off the Top".
