For those who could not relate to the chaos and dysfunction portrayed in this episode, count yourself LUCKY. For the rest of us, and you know who you are, this devastating and very accurate portrayal of undiagnosed and untreated mental illness, and its effects on everyone in a family, hits very close to the bone. Brilliant acting and editing captured the claustrophobic atmosphere that often surrounds a family functioning at this level. Jamie Lee Curtis gives an astounding and frighteningly realistic performance. Hopefully this episode will finally deliver that long awaited and much deserved Emmy for Bob Odenkirk!
