** In "Jack's Other Mother", a MyBelovedSmother named Gladys latches onto Jack and drives him crazy. She jeopardizes his job by "helping" him there and sends away a date because she didn't think the girl was right for Jack. When Jack tries to avoid Gladys by claiming he is sick, she begins acting as his nurse despite his protests. Jack finally has enough and tells Gladys so. She leaves, promising never to bother him again. Later on, Jack gets in trouble when the brother of his would-be date comes and threatens him. Gladys shows up and tells the man off. While she did a good thing, it does not excuse her previous behavior. In spite of that, Jack is still the one who apologizes — not just for being a ''bit'' harsh with her, but as though he was ''entirely'' in the wrong for asking this woman to leave him alone. Gladys never admits that maybe ''she'' was wrong for being extremely overbearing and interfering in Jack's personal life when it wasn't her place to do so. She even sets her sights on Larry at the end of the episode. In fact, from what Gladys has said, her own son was tired of his mother's toxic behavior and broke free of her, which is apparently why she is constantly on the hunt for another young man to similarly control.
