"M" is for the Migraines that She Gives Me

Happy Mother's Day! Helen has to work all day, but that's okay because Quinn has a date and Jake forgot what day it is, anyway. I'm sure Daria's been hard at work in the kitchen whipping up a tasty Mother's Day brunch, though!

Today is also the date that the Morgendorffers' calendar always seems to be stuck on. Is Lawndale in a Groundhog Day-esque time loop in which it's always May 12? Or is the family just too darn lazy to change the calendar? You make the call.
