Careful who you tell off in public.

That's a lesson Julia learns when she is audited by the IRS and discovers that her auditor is none other than Ray Don Simpson, the man who intruded in the ladies evening out in the first episode. Julia doesn't recognize him at first until Charlene reminds her with a word-by-word replay of exactly what she said, and Jean Smart is hysterical in doing this. She is even funnier than Dixie Carter was when that scene first occurred.

This episode also introduces the recurring role of J.D. Shackelford (Richard Gilland) whom Mary Jo is instantly attracted to in spite of her insistence that she's not interested in dating a divorced man. Their first scene is very funny with J.D. walking in on her performing a little seductive song but his attempts to seduce her right off is out of character for a true gentleman that we will see down the road. Still, this is a good episode that has many funny moments and is a marked improvement over the previous two.
