MOM’s Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy) has a breakdown in this week’s new episode of the CBS comedy.

“Marjorie is facing into what it is to be older,” Kennedy previews in the video below. “And as a woman, [being older means becoming] invisible…letting go of anything that has to do with our identity, that’s always a crisis.”

The tailspin has widespread fallout for the recovery group, who have become used to depending on Marjorie for everything. “It is one of my favorites we’ve ever done,” MOM co-creator Gemma Baker teases in the video below. “We’ve never seen Marjorie in this light.”

Though Marjorie has been put through the wringer in the past (cancer, her husband’s stroke, the group’s general mayhem), this storyline was one Kennedy had hoped they would explore. “I was so grateful they wrote that,” she gushes.
