Ella Fitzgerald was unique. She made every note matter. Every note. Even within the note, she did things that mattered and moved the listening experience along. Tony Shalhoub does this with dialogue. More than inflection, more than decadence more than volume. It's all of that plus nuance. Shalhoub is at his best in this episode and owns the show.
Without presenting a sequential play by play or retelling the dialogue I can tell you that there are some very good moments in this episode and urge you to watch it just to see Shalhoub's brilliance.
