One Night Ride by Jennah Scott6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() I wouldn't be put off by another visit from Verna, as Hooks is a good enough character actress to build on the role, but "Verna" the episode fell a bit short of the duo's potential. And even after Jack paid off Verna to become a better parent, keeping this fact a secret from Jenna, there was no sentimental release. Jenna isn't at all a likable character, so it's not like you were rooting for things to work out between her and her mother. Liz: "How are you not moved by this?" Jack: "Because I'm listening to the words." Aside from those funny moments, there wasn't much else to invest in. ![]() ![]() ![]() His presentation to Jenna about "Saying No To Mother" was funny and informative: "Say no, talk low, let her go." And his line delivery to Liz during the mother-daughter rendition of "Do That To Me One More Time" was the biggest laugh-out-loud moment of the episode for me. Though the story was centered on Jenna and Verna, Jack had some of the plotline's best moments. Hooks filled the role nicely, showing a sweet side as she tried to reconcile with her daughter, and a conniving, manipulative side when she was trying to sell her reality show idea to Jack. Instead, she was written as a drunk, aggressive stage mom who used Ox圜ontin prescription bottles as her identification. Jenna's mother, of course, simply could not have been a normal, nurturing, loving mother. ![]()
