A teenage girl has decided to pursue Jeffrey Fairbrother, which happens much to the jealousy of Gladys and the annoyance of said teenager's parents.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Dreadful Musician: Peggy's terrible singing is in full play, with her getting kicked out by Gladys over her terrible rendition of "Good Morning". (Gladys' singing is actually no better, though she is convinced she is Maria Callas.)
  • Get Out!: Gladys' response to Peggy's awful rendition of "Good Morning" is simply "Get Out!".
  • Goo Goo Get Up: Part of Spike's comedy get-up apparently involves getting dressed as a giant baby.
  • Likes Older Men: The teenaged Rose shows traits of this, having had sex with Ted, and taking a romantic interest in Jeffrey.
  • Lying to Protect Your Feelings: Gladys' lie about Jeffrey having a sexual relationship with her, with the intent of getting Rose's father off his back.
  • One-Shot Character: Rose.
  • Right Now Montage: The opening scenes of the episode involve the cast being woken up and going through their morning routine.
