Anna Faris is hysterical
WYAdams31 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Christie is extremely ill but insists on going to work as well as taking the LSAT. In her usual style, Anna Faris turns in another hysterical performance. She has a couple of pratfalls when she collapses to the floor. In one particularly funny moment we see her lying on a gurney face down as she wheels it out of the hospital behind Bonnie and her friends sitting in the waiting room.

We discover that meek and mild Wendy is a lion when she is in her element working as a nurse. She orders people around and threatens Christie with a catheter if she acts up. The usual punishment nurses used to mete out for misbehaving patients was an HHH (high, hot and hell of a lot) enema.

Bonnie and Adam go through their usual trials and tribulations when Bonnie, with her insecurity, suspects Adam is cheating on her. This is rather mundane since they seem to have some kind of crisis about every other episode.

Anna Faris = Emmy oversight
micah181411 March 2022
Allison Janney nabbed all of the Emmy nods, but this episode in particular shows how much Anna Faris deserved her share of attention. Her character is sick the entire episode, and she manages to play miserable and hilarious at the same time. There's some Lucy-level physical comedy, and the closing joke is a master class in comedy timing.

This entire series is such a revelation. (I didn't see it first-run.) "Mom" upside down is "wow."
