** "Uncle Manny's Kaddish." The rest of the town tried throughout the episode to assemble a minyan of Jewish mourners for Joel to pray with on behalf of his late beloved uncle, but he unexpectedly called off the search. At the end, he has assembled the town in the meeting hall, where he says that "the whole point of a minyan is so a mourner can be supported by their community -- and YOU are all my community." Then he says he'll say the Kaddish, and "if you all just want to think of someone you loved very much, and pray to yourself however you're most comfortable, go ahead." And then, slowly, as Joel says the prayer, you see first Ruth-Anne and Ed joining hands, then Chris and his brother Bernard stand at the back and bow their heads...then Shelly crosses herself...then Maurice creakily gets onto his knees, tearing up as he rests his face on folded hands...and the camera pans slowly out on Joel reciting the kaddish as the whole rest of Cicely stands around him, each person praying with him in their own unique way. *sniff* |

* ''[[Sports Night]]'': At the end of season one, Dana asks for ''one good thing'' to happen that day--and Isaac walks in the door. Doubly meaningful for the [[Reality Subtext]], since that was Robert Guillaume's return to the show after a real-life stroke. |
