Okay episode, undone by Carrie being a jerk

Warning: Spoilers
The main plot is Arthur needing to beat a rival at shuffleboard and recruiting Doug to help him. But Doug is bad at shuffleboard which makes the prospect of beating the rival bleak. When Arthur finds that Spence is excellent at shuffleboard he drops Doug. But Spence quits for personal reasons and Arthur is forced to recruit Doug again, the end result being that they lose. I have no problem with this plot. It is quite good and Arthur never fails to amuse.

My problem is with the other plot, in which Carrie is sick with the flu. After Holly brings her food and offers to bring her more, Carrie takes advantage of the situation to the point that she bosses pushover Holly around with the end result being that Holly ends up being sick and still getting Holly food, even after she has recovered from her illness. I'm sorry, I don't find this amusing at all. Carrie's behavior is appalling and she never learns from it. It's never a good thing when a show makes their character a complete jerk (I would use a stronger word her if it were allowed) with no lesson learned. I find it distasteful and not funny at all.
