For some inexplicable reason, Lt. Manetti tries out a new accent (southern US) in the second half of this episode.
As no explanation is given for this change, it is VERY distracting. I even came online to check out on IMDB to see if the actress herself was from the south (or lived there for any significant period of time). That does NOT appear to be case.
I would expect a hit series like this would have a dialect coach to help with various characters that are supposed to be from various locales.
At the very least, I would have expected SOMEONE associated with the production to have noticed.
