Judith Light and S. Epatha Merkerson help Natasha Lyonne elevate this week's relatively dawdling episode

But not in “Time Of The Monkey.”

No idea how she found the job, but she’s probably still taking work that pays quickly and quietly to avoid detection. Charlie, Joyce, and Irene form an instant connection and smoke pot together. It’s all fun and games, except the two older women are actually former domestic terrorists who spent 30 years in prison.
