The cast has changed a little since their first encounter - the original mail carrier, Harriet (played by Carol Woods) has been replaced by a younger woman, Amina (played by Erika Alexander). But the rest of the ensemble has returned: Becky (Joan Rivers), Catherine (Debra Monk), Juanita (Liz Testa) and Juniper (Pam Woodruff). In this episode Becky has a problem - her 15-year old daughter is coming home from boarding school with a boy for the weekend. Becky is conflicted about how to deal with the sleeping arrangements, and even how to approach this with her daughter. Her knitting buddies have very strong, and conflicting, ideas. This piece was produced in 10 weeks during the summer/fall of 1999, using traditional cel animation techniques with Adobe's After Effects. The result is stunning, funny and with lots of attitude.
