Cinnamon & Wendgrod wrote this story with a stupid set-up that is an excuse for Tony and Angela to interact with each other and an adorable baby boy (played by female twins).  Mona still has the job she got in "The Graduate" episode, as HR person at Hadley Shoe Company.  She brings home a shoe designer who wants to be an actor, so she encourages him, not realizing he'll abandon his wife and child to run off to Hollywood.  Then she encourages his wife to go with her to Hollywood and bring Norman back, leaving the baby with Tony.  But when they get there, she urges the couple to stay in Hollywood and raise the baby out there, even though the husband only has a job as a gofer on a TV-movie set.  And no one points out how idiotic this all is!

Oh well.  The scenes of Tony, Angela, and Baby Clint are great.  And it's clear that T & A are starting to think about what it would be like to have a child together.  They also do the tango together, but it's played for laughs, as Jonathan dances with his grandmother.  Note that we hear that Jenny Wittener "dips for a dime."
