I don't want this first series to end.

Ingrid has a plan to ensure The Judge finds Jessica guilty of murder, Father Timothy Flotsky turns to his mother for help. Burt finally confesses his dark secret to Mary, but will it be enough to see him return home?

This series is ending in some style, it's another hilarious episode, it is super funny. It doesn't really have any of those moving or sentimental scenes, but it is loaded with sharp one liners, wit and sarcasm. A surprise witness is called to the trial.

Chester and the eggs, so funny, Benson was on great form here, as was Bob, who genuinely provides some hilarious moments, imagine being down on your luck, and in real trouble, Bob is the last person that you'd want around.

I think my opinion has switched now, was convinced it was Chester, now I think it's Sheila.

9/10.
