Sabrina calling all of the rich people out was hilarious.
Jimmy: "It's like when you're in an argument with my dad, and he knows he's about to lose, so he punches you."
Sabrina: "Come on, you've got to give me Frank!"
Jimmy: "You might be smarter and less creepy thank Frank..."

Great episode, but that's nothing unusual for this show. What I love about this show, is that they avoid typical sitcom cliches. A normal sitcom would have really played up the poor vs. rich aspect of the story and not ended with character depth and meaning. Just another reason why this is one of the best comedies on TV right now.
An interesting development with Sabrina and her family background; nice addition of Stephen Root as well. I like that we got to see Sabrina at her weakest, with her flaws and insecurities; and for Jimmy to come through for her in the end and not being afraid to point out the error of her ways was great.

I didn't like the second of last season as much as the first half, but these first two episodes have been terrific. I wish Shannon Woodward hadn't cut her hair though.

So many great moments.
Mama putting the lobster on the floor because she thought it was a toy
Burt freaking out when he realized that Sabrina had money
Virginia stressing to Hope to 'not mess this up'
Loved the Yo Gabba Gabba mention, about the show, and that they actually show up because of a million dollar charity contribution, and dancing in the living room. Plex dancing around as sabrina shoots china lol

And they were there in-person because they don't like the kids watching TV. So warped and so funny.

I don't think so; think they're still just friends. Nothing happened in the first season involving them becoming a couple.

I actually like her short hair. My favorite parts were Hope breaking the china and Virginia's first conversation with her before the party.
I think Shannon Woodward way is shorter than the Google estimate of 5' 3". Virginia's inside joke about no actress being so short and Sabrina removing her 5" heels made her almost look like a pre-teen child.

Agreed. I looked it up as well, and there is no way she is that tall.
