Episode 9: Strangers In The Night | Easy Breakdown |

Did you feel bad for when her parents didn't believe her?

The episode kicks off with making a bold, adult choice: purchasing a pristine white couch. It’s a symbol of their "sophisticated" life, but as any parent knows, white fabric and a household with Lily is a recipe for disaster. The tension peaks when Mitch’s stressed co-worker, Brenda (played by a brilliantly frantic Kristen Johnston), ends up staying the night. The sight of Brenda—with her messy habits and emotional baggage—anywhere near that couch provides some of the most stressful "second-hand embarrassment" comedy in the show's run.
