Pulling Teeth

Pulling Teeth wasn't the best title for this episode. It refers to the secondary part of the story, which is kind of underwhelming. It was interesting to see how the relationship between Waldo and Maxine started, but the five-way phone conversation wasn't the best way to go. Up to this point in the series, Waldo and Maxine had been seen separately. It would have been more interesting to see the two of them just start talking to each other, and what developed from that. However, the format used here works well enough. We have the same likeable actors who always made their characters engaging. It was nice to hear Waldo and Maxine describe the "date" they had. They had only nice things to say about each other. Very touching! Not very much Steve-Laura content here, but still a pretty good episode.
