Great casting for Ben's dad. Loved the stare down between him and Ron for the last shrimp was hilarious.

Wow, if what they're going for with Jean-Raphael is annoying, they've succeed.

He definitely annoyed me, though that also made me love it even more when Ron would injure him.

Ron jabbing him with the skewer was brilliant.

Wow Rob Lowe still this episode for me. His breakdown continues to be hilarious. I couldn't control myself during his Kleenex box meltdown in front if Ann.

Ron was brilliant, as always. I rewound to watch him stab Jean Ralphio three times (and laughed every time).

Rob Lowe was also firing on all cylinders this week. Love him.

Ben's parents were fun. I hope they bring them back again.
