This is the start of the downfall that is the end of this series. While this episode is unique and interesting in the delivery (understanding only a different language), the heart of the show, the family, is depicted in a way that doesn't reflect every other episode. The insinuation of thoughts of an affair, the heavy, unloving words spoken by Joe, the heartless attitude of the girls at the breakfast table. None of it fits with the family invited into our homes each episode. Joe's frustration is understandable, but after 7.5 seasons, this is not the way to have it depicted. Wish they hadn't waited until the end of the episode to correct it.
As much as I disliked the final episode, this is my least favorite of them all.
