    The Season 2 finale had alot to live upto and viewers expectations needed to be met, luckily the writers pulled it off with room to spare. This episode see's the death of Maggie's boyfriend Rick and while Joel struggles to find a way to break it to her that she has now lost no less then 5 boyfriends to horrible accidents- Potato salad, glaciers, falling satellites Maurice fights off homophobic feelings.
    A bad ending to Ricks funeral and two gay men coming to live in town, Will Cicely ever be the same? A great ending with Maggie and Joel dancing.moreless

    Funny, original and as quirky as they come. The humor and angst of Maurice dealing with homosexuals, coupled with the humor and angst of Rick's death by falling satellite, make for one of the most unique episodes of any television show I've ever seen. While the main thread of the story deals with Rick' death, the expressions on Maurice's face as he wrestles with his conscience over money and deals with his homophobia is priceless. It was encouraging at the time to see such a witty and well-written show. It's is too bad we have nothing that even comes close to this quality on television now.moreless
