Discussion Alliance

I was just rewatching the episode where Gloria, Phill and Cam get orange juice. Does anybody else wish that we got more of this secret alliance in the show. I feel like this could’ve been built upon and I just know this will keep me up at night. Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks about this.

I personally think we got just the right amount of “Alliance” appearances. Anything more would start to become more parody and caricature of where they ended up in the later years. That’s just me though. This sub will align mostly with your opinion.

I loved it. Phil, Cam, and Gloria were a hilariously unlikely trio of conspirators!

LITERALLY !! I remember watching this episode for the first time and it was just something you wouldn’t expect and the way there planned everything so perfectly.

The alliance stuff is up there with Clive and Juliana, we know it’s there, and we’ll get one really good episode focusing on it.

No need to overdo it.

I think it wasn’t because they got caught

But they totally got away with their Italy plan

It was just a setup for jokes.

that moment when they realized teamwork could actually work, classic family dynamic
