First, this was a great ep especially with Jonathan Del Arco and Orson Bean. There is the standard one-liners from most of the cast. It also had the underlying theme that goes thru to the end of the series regarding taking care of family in particular parents.
As to the question if this was a bleak ep, perhaps yes, but unfortunately it happens which is perhaps more bleak.
I wish Mr. Bean could have been a regular guest.
