Blanche's date still lives with his mother. Stan wants Dorothy and Sophia to attend therapy with him.
Tropes:
- Early-Bird Cameo: The traffic cone with a monkey's head that Stan carries around in "The Monkey Show" appears in the background in the psychiatrist's office.
- My Beloved Smother: Blanche dates a local newscaster, only for his overprotective mother to start meddling in their relationship, and it's clear this isn't the first time she's gotten between him and a potential girlfriend. He finally gets fed up with her behavior and, with Blanche's encouragement, tells her he's not going to let her push him around anymore and do what he really wants — which, to Blanche's stunned shock, is to go back to an ex-girlfriend named Christina. His mother is last seen following him out the door, still trying to control him by saying "We don't like Christina, remember?"
