    We learn how Robert and Joann divorced originally in a very special episode. This episode has a lot of great humor that really showed how much the family hated Joann, and it is very clear why. She treated them all like crap, and they didn't hide their opinions of her.

    This was a very special episode and it is really good. Near the end of the episode, Joann and Robert meet each other again, and Joann gives him her number, in case he ever wants to get in contact with her again. When nobody sees, he takes the number, indicating he plans on calling hermoreless

    • (Joanne insults Ray) Robert: I want you to apologize. Joanne: Apologize for what? Robert: For what you just said to him and for all the other mean things you've said about him. Ray: She says mean things about me? Robert: Oh yeah. She's nice to your face, but as soon as you leave she says that when you talk, you sound like a wounded cow. Or when you run, it looks like you're trying to hold a pencil between your cheeks.
    • Marie: (in flashback, to Robert about his ex-wife) You knew she was a showgirl? Raymond, I hope you're not keeping a secret like this about Debra. Ray: You mean Peppermint?
    • (Ray is looking out the window after Joanne left) Robert: Is she still there? Ray: No, and what's scary is that I think I just saw a bat fly away.
