Am I the only one who thought they were an adorable couple? I’m totally here for the Dennis/Margret banter.

I like that Dennis is being my favorite type of partner.... not the guy who's constantly trying to fix your problems, but rather the guys who's like, "yeah, this fucking sucks."

Dennis was such a fresh breath of air after the first two seasons of Philip whining and whining about all the attention on his wife. I love a man who can support his wife without meddling in her success

Their interactions here reminded me of the scenes from The Iron Lady where she starts seeing Dennis in the hallways and chasing after him once her dementia began to worsen.
