This is another one of my favorite episodes from "Everybody Loves Raymond". This episode is from Season 7 and originally aired in April 2003. It is amazing the quality this show is still able to crank out after this many seasons.
This episode involves Debra throwing a wedding shower for Amy at Amy's apartment. Debra has done all the planning, food preparations and shower games. But Marie is not content to just sit back and watch. So she shows up with her own food and starts pushing it off on Debra's guests. Debra tries to take it all in stride. Then Marie starts criticizing the flow of the shower and says there is a lull. Debra finally has enough and snaps at Marie. Marie acts offended and very loudly says goodbye to all the guests, and leaves in a huff. Debra, who just picked up 2 drinks for her and Amy, quickly downs both drinks.
Next, we see Debra sitting in her car. She calls Ray on her cell phone and tells the answering machine she has had too much to drink and to come pick her up as soon as he gets the message. Next we see a sleeping Debra being woken up by a police officer tapping on her car window. Then, Ray gets a phone call while he is sleeping at home and its Debra... calling from JAIL. He rolls over to look at Debra's empty spot, not even realizing she wasn't home yet.
The next scene from the jail house with Debra is TOO funny. She tries to act like its no big deal, but her voice keeps quivering. She keeps telling them they have made a mistake, that she never drove - "How can there be a DUI if there is no 'D'!". I think the funniest line is when she says "Well, see if I care. I have 3 kids at home so I'm just glad to be out of the house". As I mom, boy can I understand THAT line! This is a must see episode for Debra's acting at the jail. Also, the later scene at the hearing is quite funny when the whole family shows up, including Ray, Marie, Frank and Robert. The court representative had his hands full. Debra explains why she drank too much - because of Marie!
