It’s a tightly written farce with three parallel storylines that all converge at the wedding. The episode perfectly balances physical comedy (Claire’s helmet-like hair, the stair lift going rogue) with heartfelt moments (Jay’s quiet pride in Joe’s first word, and Gloria’s reassurance to Manny about being “enough”).
