    Found another error

    It wasn't as cohesive and fluid as other episodes. It lacked the natural energy to which we are accustomed, and even the prop crew missed things. When Dorothy pulled a queue number, 18, the next number was 17.

      Dorothy takes the "next to be served" number, and the next number is lower than the one she took.
    • Quotes

      Rose Nylund: You're not going to believe what happened, I met my father, my natural father!
