Danny is unable to kill Burt, and confides in him, his stepfather unexpectedly decides to help his son in law out of his predicament.

Wonderful, as good as it gets, this was incredibly funny, with another one of those moving scenes.

The best moment comes where Jodie tells Danny about his sexuality, once again I'd argue the show was way ahead of its time, with its attitudes and ideas, the acting is genuinely tremendous throughout.

That moment where Danny tries to kill Burt, side splitting.

Chuck and Bob continue to supply the laughs, outrageously funny, that scene with the eggs was a joy, and as for insulting Chester, I loved that the pair had matching outfits throughout.

I'm addicted to this show.

9/10.
