In Kidding season 1 episode 9 titled "Lt. Pickles", we see Jeff's estranged wife Jill returns to town, seemingly wanting to reconcile their relationship. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Jill's true intention is to take over control of his "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time" show and turn it into something completely different.

Jeff is initially excited by the prospect of rekindling his relationship with Jill but as he spends more time with her, he realizes that she has a hidden agenda. Jill's plans are evident when she seeks the help of the show's executive producer, Seb, to completely revamp the puppet show. Jeff is not on board with these changes, especially when it comes to Jill's suggested character of "Lt. Pickles," a stern military figure who becomes the mascot for the show's new militaristic theme.

Meanwhile, Jeff's puppet in the show, Phil, starts to experience a level of self-awareness, leading him to confront existential questions about the nature of his existence and his relationship with Jeff. This subplot adds a layer of depth to the episode, as Phil's journey parallels Jeff's struggle with his own identity and how it is perceived by others.

As tensions rise between Jeff and Jill, and Seb becomes more and more entangled in their power struggle, we see the dynamics of their relationships begin to unravel. Jeff begins to question his loyalty to his ex-wife and their shared past, while Seb is forced to consider where his loyalties lie in the face of Jill's demands. Ultimately, it becomes clear that things will never be the same between the characters and the future of the show hangs in the balance.

"Lt. Pickles" is a tense, dramatic episode that explores themes of control, identity and loyalty. It is a standout episode of the series, showcasing the strengths of its performers in bringing to life complex characters, and expertly balancing humor and heartache in equal measure. Fans of the show are sure to be captivated by this latest installment, which promises to leave them pining for the next chapter in the story of Jeff and "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time."
