B-
The farce continues in this episode which introduces Janis Hansen as Felix's ex-wife, Gloria (played by Janis Hansen the first of a dozen times), who goes out with Nancy's visiting "swinger" brother, Raymond. The Ron Friedman script has some genuinely funny lines, especially for jealous Felix, like the one about matchmaking Felix's mother, and I thought about a B, but there is the sequence (not just a line) where everyone worries that Gloria's elevator-ripped dress will add to Felix's jealousy and he does indeed speak of Ray "assaulting his wife." As with the "attack" lines in the pilot, this series does not seem to really understand consent.
