Episode 41 begins with a night on the town with Burt,Danny,Jodie,Chuck,and Bob drowning their sorrows about women, ending with Burt's suggestion to "save this conversation for Buckingham Palace," and leaving a passed out Bob stuck with the tab.In a desperate attempt to make peace with God,Tim decides to go off to live in a cave,hoping to someday return to a disappointed Corinne,admitting that he still loves her.The cops finally catch up with Dutch,who makes Eunice pose as his hostage to prevent them from arresting her as an accomplice.Jodie's possible suicide attempt on the Triborough bridge is thwarted by an attractive,lonely girl named Alice(Randee Heller),whose own attempt at killing herself fails to progress beyond an aborted suicide note.She reveals herself to be gay,being disowned by her father,who learned they were both dating his secretary(who has now walked out on her),and a sympathetic Jodie refuses to leave her alone and depressed.Mary leaves a note for Burt,saying only that she's left him,and Corinne suddenly goes into labor after a mere six weeks of pregnancy,throwing Benson into a panic("where's the car?")

Stunning episode.
Sleepin_Dragon30 December 2023
The men of the family enjoy a drink together, and discuss the emptiness of their lives, all of them have suffered great loss, especially Bob, who's lost a suede jacket.

I was really hoping that this was going to be the episode where Chester made his return, not what I was expecting, but this was a phenomenal episode, outrageously funny, sad and incredibly moving in equal measure.

I can't decide if my favourite scene was Jodie meeting Alice, discovering somebody in the same boat as he is, or a drunken Bob, it has to be......

A drunken Bob, something I've been wanting to see since the start, the look on everyone's faces when Bob was going to be sick, that was genuinely side splitting.

This second series continues to be incredible.

9/10.
