Trip on the memory of Debbie Reynolds while honoring Shelley Morrison, knock your wig loose clunky.
She spent the morning looking for Rosario (!!
), who never takes the day off unless its Christmas or Maids Eat Free Day at Applebees.

And Rosario was missing for good reason: Shes in the hospital.
At the hospital, Jack is a mess.
Hes running up and down the halls DEMANDING Rosarios Jell-O…for himself.
Such an incredible ex-husband.
But when the doctor comes to speak with Karen, its not good news.
At Rosarios funeral, Grace asks if Karen needs anything, and Karen is over it.
She says shes been on her own since 9 months old; she breastfed herself.
She just wanted to throw Rosie that quinceanera since her mother was so terrible to her.
And thats when were interrupted by the iconic Lorraine Finster.
Minnie Driver is a TREASURE.
And Lorraines practically family.
She slept with Karens husband.
Karen married her father.
They once had a three-way.
I dont want to know the involved parties…nope, wait, it was Lorraines father.
After a quick hug (and earring heist), Lorraine makes her exit, like a lady.
But its not like theyve been appropriate all episode long.
It keeps coming up, and Grace finally says that Will worksforher.
Mid-argument, her mint flies out and lands in Rosarios casket.
Jack is having a panic attack pre-funeral, throwing Bibles into pews and breaking down over seating orders.
Grace reminds him that all he has to do is get Karen through the day but Karen isnt there.
Shes at the bar next door.
In a surprise twist, we get Smitty back!
Karen asks him for advice, but he cant hear her because hes almost entirely deaf.
It cracks Karen up because Smitty knows just what to say.
The screaming, the pushing.
Though Grace has always been alot, in the original series, it never felt forced.
In this episode, well, it kind of did.
And thats a shame because this moment is all about Graces mom, played by the late Debbie Reynolds.
Maybe its just a sad reminder that we dont get Debbie back.
Back at the service, ex-husband Jack has taken the stage to say some words about his ex-wife Rosario.
Will tells Jack to stretch it, so Jack literally stretches.
In the bar, Jack tries to talk with Karen, but shes just not having it.
She just wants him to sing.
So Will steps in, only to tell Karen that shes free to approach this funeral however she wants.
And while she goes off on a tangent, he simply hugs her.
And with just about three minutes left, Megan Mullally makes a play for the Emmy.
With her head arrogantly turned up, Karen approaches Rosies casket and immediately notices Graces mint in her hair.
She apologizes for not being there, but what was she supposed to say?
She was her maid?
Because she was all of those things.
And when Karen finally acknowledges all those What do you need?
questions, theres only one answer: for Rosario not to be gone.
So she takes off her ring and says she wants Rosie to have it.
It belonged to her mother and Lord knows shes been eying it for years.
But she also says shes not going to the cemetery.
She wants to remember Rosario her way.
So there you have it.
Rosario is gone, though thank God, Shelley Morrison isfine(someone knock on wood).
