I was watching Ward dry dishes and he must have dried that small bowl for a whole minute. It was funny watching him keep talking and drying.

They must have had a lot of dishes to wash with water glasses, plates, cups and saucers, salad plates, tomato glasses with saucers under them, dessert dishes, silverware, milk glasses etc.

Platters for the roast beef or leg of lamb...

Serving bowls for the potatoes and veggies.

I wonder if Hugh directed that episode and just missed the fact you don't dry 1 piece for the entire scene ... +_ (?)

Directed by David Butler, so Butler missed it ?

Of the 235 LITB Episodes Ward was in 234.
Which Episode was he not in ?

I believe it was Substitute Father but he was in the beginning about to catch a plane and wearing a hat.

I thought of that one too. 1st scene only, he's gone. Can't remember if he directed it though.

Probably had to go back to his home state maybe Minnesota and take care of his tree farm. Just speculating don’t remember if it was the last episode of the season.

Speaking of drying dishes, June has spent a long time washing a plate and talking to find out it’s still not clean. “This one needs a bit more washing.”

It was the last episode--at least it was the last one shown.

I remember the "still not clean" plate--that was when Beaver was drying.

It must be hard remembering lines when you're doing stuff like that.
