The doubleheader episode of "Hacks" featuring comedienne Deborah Vance and Amazing Race crossover was seen as a clever play. The episode four explores Deborah's past and future, while the second focuses on her relationship with her daughter D.J. Both episodes were seen as among the stronger half-hours in the show's swan song season. This episode also included a discussion of Deborah's legacy and the impact of her ex-husband Frank Vance on her career. The show's writers successfully brought back the character of "Who's Making Dinner?" for a reboot, featuring Deb's sister, J. Smith-Cameron, and Jefferson May’s T.L. Gurley. The season five premiere is set to air on Sunday.
