This the first episode where Malcolm's and Stevie's parents meet. You can really see the beginning stages of Abe and Hals friendship start to form when they are at the bar sharing problems. Though the parents dynamics would later be fleshed out and done better in episodes like Carnival, this is a great start. There are also neat camera shots in this episode like seeing Stevie hold up the circle through the fish tank and seeing Stevie get punched over and over again in the background of a shot.
