Just as the show did with Levi and Helen instead of focusing on Amy Tyler is the main character of this episode. Even though he has been a principal character of the show not much is really known about him outside of Amy's head. Seeing Tyler alone in his live was not surprising from what has been shown of the character. Although what was surprising was how the secretary Eileen (Molly Shannon) seemed quite attracted to Tyler for all his awkwardness. Amy though the eyes of Tyler came off as even more crazier but her with Dougie seemed like a pair that Tyler should stay away from. The relationship build between Tyler and Eileen was sweet as it felt like such a young love. Tyler came off quite sympathetic in how he was treated by Amy and Dougie who came off as villains even though they are trying to make a difference. Tyler is not a great character in my mind by White finally got the chance to play this character in a way that I actually care about. Shannon has played her crazy characters over the years but being toned down worked for her I believe. It was a good episode but my biggest problem with the show will always be how self righteous it comes off, Amy as a character is quite annoying and the writing never makes her empathetic.
