This is one of the best episodes of the series. So many good lines delivered like a full-on pro by 85-year old Judith Lowry as Mother Dexter. She's so crusty and forceful, yet completely and unavoidably loveable.
Story concerns Phyllis thinking Mother Dexter needs something to do. She gets her a job at Julie's photography studio. Within seconds she's sparring with Leo, and being totally adorable on the phone when Julie tells her that next time, before hanging up, to get the person's name when they call. So she asks their name, hangs up, and tells Julie the person's name.
Later at home, she dishes a fantastic mix of put-downs to Phyllis, threatens her with a baseball bat, and kisses her good night. It's so well done and we end up loving both of them even more.
