Remember when John Lennon became joined at the hip to Yoko Ono? Yoko may not have been responsible for the Beatles breaking up, but her presence didn’t help matters because she changed the way these men interacted with each other, and they were either too polite to tell Yoko to find something else to do durinng recording sessions, or John refused to read the room.

That’s how I felt about Episode Five, “Mr. Razzles,” which centers around Greg’s estranged wife, Elizabeth, showing up at Ludlow because the school is naming a building after her.
