As a longtime viewer of DTM, I always thought the fourth season peaked early and this episode is the biggest reason why. The fussy man-chasing performances of Mary Wickes and Alice Pearce are hilarious.
Mary Wickes was only in 10 episodes of the series but stole every one of her scenes. Her chat with Mabel in the beauty parlor is laugh out loud funny. Alice Pearce was a nice addition as Lucy Tarbell; there just wasn't much or any room for her in earlier episodes as a foil/partner-in-crime for Esther Cathcart.
The early reference to George Wilson was a nice touch, but Eloise's reaction when John brushes Dennis off by saying "I own the house now" felt pretty real.
