This is the weakest BNS episode so far, which means it's not terrible, just disappointing. Patchett and Tarses wrote the script, which has Bob overeating because of his overweight therapy group, which includes Dr. Tupperman and a slimmed down Michelle. On Emily's suggestion, Bob invites Carol to talk to the group, since she's lost over 100 pounds since high school. One of the group members asks her out and she's pressured into going. He turns out to be a real creep, and the situation is very different than when Carol willingly went on one date with Mr. Carlin. The only thing I like in this episode is Howard's confusion over how to put down tile.
Marcia Lewis, who previously was Dorothy, here plays Louise Gross. (I'm not sure if that's meant to be a pun.) This is the first of two BNS episodes that Bob Claver directed.
