This was a strange episode. Julie and Barbara both behave in ways that is totally contradictory to their established personalities. It's like a parallel ODAAT universe in this episode. Suddenly Julie is timid and has a conscience, while Barbara pressures her into what amounts to basically stealing. It was obvious this script was bought for cheap from a struggling writer.

I agree. I've mentioned the role reversal personalities here before. I still like the episode though.

I just checked the writers resume. It was his one and only ODAAT episode.

Yes, I checked that too and it's not surprising. I don't have Antenna TV so I didn't actively participate in the discussions here when the show began cycling. I am just going by the Comedy Gold recordings I obtained recently.
