Initially I was watching this show for the scenes with the daughters since I found Pamela's arcs to be particularly uninteresting.
This episode is the first episode where I found myself engaged in everything involving Pamela. Good on the show for giving the daughters minimal screentime in order to focus more on Pamela. The frequent posturing towards Pamela getting "you're attractive" comments and the young actor wanting to pull out his junk in the car was interesting.
Pamela's interactions with her mother are interesting because it brings out a certain thought that I've had about parents and my parents. Both of my parents are nearing on 60 and I notice that (my mother in particular) is very talkative and perhaps the lack of people that she has around her that are willing to listen to her talk about her life are slowly decreasing. As a son who loves and cares about her I am more than happy to listen to her talk about herself. It's no where near as much as Pamela's mother in this show but I get it.
Now Pamela sometimes won't put up with it if she feels that her mother is being somewhat unreasonable or aggravating but often times she'll be there for her mother which is evident to her living right across the street.
I also dug the scene with the baby daddy and Pamela's generally non-sympathetic attitude when making replies like "It's not fair" and replying with "I know" to "you're always superior".
