This is a nice and funny episode. Phyllis is working for city councilman Dan Valenti, played by Carmine Caridi. This was the new change at the beginning of the season. I miss the old work characters, but this new group is growing on me, with the exception of the Harriet Hastings character. Cloris Leachman and Carmine Caridi have some good scenes and chemistry together, more noticeable than usual so that's great.
At home there's a sequence where Audrey (Phylis' special mother-in-law) is wrapping up their garbage in nice boxes with pretty paper and bows. As she explains herself, it gets funnier and funnier, with a nice string of perfectly delivered, loony explanations and remarks from dear dim Audrey. It's a treat.
