Damn, there was some real emotion in that scene. I know that it was acting, but it almost felt like it was personal between the cast members. I didn't like that the father was not really intervening in the situation (if that is the patriarch of the show). I am aware that Ms. Pat is the star.
I haven't watched this show - in fact, I didn't know about it until this thread. Maybe I should start. Thanks, OP.
