Notes

Originally a 45-minute "Super-Size" episode, heavily edited down to 30 minutes for repeats.
Leo calls and tells Grace he will be in Africa for 5 more weeks.
Ellen has had her second child, but is still a little heavy; both Karen and Julie mistake her for being pregnant (in the 45-minute version).
