The main reason to watch this Harris & Silver episode is for the scene where Jodie confronts Carol, who's gone back home to Texas.  The other threads are that the family gathers together for a memorial service for Chester (who's slowly regaining his memory), but no one actually has any good memories of him; and Sally tells Mary about her "affair" with Burt, and his new fling with an 18-year-old.  Note that the rhyming recaps are already getting old in this second venture and I'll be glad when they're dropped.

Peggy Pope makes her first of five appearances as Carol's mother.  Charles Hallahan, who plays Lance, would be Colin Turnbull on M*A*S*H.  Eunice is absent and I don't know if she's heard that her father is probably dead.
