This is a worthwhile and humorous episode. It shows the hapless son Vinton in a classic 'no-win' situation involving his mother Thelma and his newly-pregnant wife Naomi.
We are reminded that "Mother's day" has always been a rather important holiday in the Harper household,which isn't a surprise considering Mama Thelma's borderline obsessive need for attention.
The story itself is pretty simple. It is a tug-of-war between Thelma and Naomi for Vinton's undivided attention on Mother's day. Vinton wins 2 tickets for a free Mother's day dinner at a newly-opened restaurant. 2 tickets are all that Vinton has,so presumably Vinton must pick either Mama OR his wife Naomi to accompany to the Mother's day dinner. As the dinner-day approaches,both women try their best to get on Vinton's good side and resort to selfish emotional blackmail to 'win' the guest-of-honor seat at the Mother's day dinner.
Vinton is in an impossible spot here. Making it worse is the fact that all of them live together in the same house,so the situation must be handled very carefully or Vinton will surely never hear the end of it. How in the world will Vinton handle this impossible situation? Watch and see for yourself,and let us know what you think about it !
