Rooster welcomed a new face to the Ludlow roost in the latest episode, “Mr. Razzles,” as Greg’s (Steve Carell) ex, and Katie’s (Charly Clive), mother, Elizabeth (Connie Britton) dropped by the university for a special dedication ceremony. Fair warning: There are spoilers for Rooster Season 1 Episode 5 ahead!

As viewers already knew, Greg’s history with Elizabeth is complicated by the fact that she cheated on him, effectively ending their marriage. The mirroring of the situation between them and Katie’s own predicament with her husband Archie (Phil Dunster) isn’t lost on the plot as the episode saw Katie turn to her mother for advice surrounding the infidelity. Despite their differing roles in each scenario, Katie doesn’t discredit any advice Elizabeth could give her.
