It took me a few viewings to realize what they'd done here, and it's so fun. Now these are great comedy writers. This show is inexplicably underrated. They bring the funny. And in this episode, they structured one of the coolest sitcom jokes I've ever seen.
Don't worry. There are no spoilers here. You'll have to find it on your own. I'm just raising your awareness to watch for it. It works like this --
There's "something" that Melanie does. It's a character trait. They show us that trait in the very beginning of the episode. Later in the story, she goes the opposite of her character trait -- and it's done with hilarious sound effects. And then, immediately after that moment, we see her return to her original way.
It's hilarious. And brilliant.
