Really liked the cuddle therapy idea. It fits Bill perfectly – lonely, needy, and completely sincere about it – and Hank’s protective reaction feels exactly right. The guys stepping in has that classic Alley energy without forcing anything.
The food-critic story with Peggy also landed for me. She shows both her best and worst sides in the same episode: meddling, stubborn, then actually owning up and fixing it. That balance is what makes her character still interesting.
7.5/10: Not the funniest episode of the season, but the two plots are solid and true to the characters.
