Not great.
30 September 2022
Kelly is planning to have her friends over for a pyjama party, which sounds promising, but then the episode introduces a plot point that baffled me somewhat: Peggy gives the Rhoades' house keys to a man who she believes is the plumber booked to fix their neighbours' sink while they are away in New York. However, the man is not a plumber, and he removes their house, leaving a hole in the ground. Being British, I was bewildered by this, since it isn't possible to remove a house in the UK, plus I didn't understand the confusion between 'Rhoades' house' and 'Roadhouse' (we don't have roadhouses in England). Would anyone actually mistake a residential home for a roadside bar anyway? Contrived or what!

Without a house, Marcy and Steve spend the night at the Bundy's place. Meanwhile, Kelly's friends arrive and sit around bad-mouthing whichever one of them isn't in the room at the time. Bud comes downstairs, dressed like Hugh Hefner to try and impress the girls, but when they mock him, he stirs up trouble by revealing that Kelly has been dating their boyfriends. A catfight ensues.

The House That Peg Lost isn't one of my favourites: my confusion over the missing house meant that I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I might have if I were American. The pyjama party antics lifted it a little, but not enough to make me want to watch this one again in a hurry.
