Next on ‘Rita Rocks’: Mother and Child Reunion, Anchors Aweigh

Coming up on Lifetime’s Rita Rocks are the two new November 9 episodes “Mother and Child Reunion” at 10pm ET and “Anchors Aweigh” at 10:30pm, both featuring guest star Swoosie Kurtz (Pushing Daisies).

During the first installment, Rita’s family receives a visit from her judgmental mom Marilyn (Kurtz), which prompts Rita to go all out cleaning and hiding “bad” food so as to escape criticism.

What is Rita to do then but suspect something’s up when her mother isn’t critical in the least?

Next on the second episode, Jay catches Marilyn flirting with a strange man who isn’t her husband right before he and Rita leave for a weekend trip, and Kip decides to earn some extra money for college by teaching Rita’s neighbor Jasper how to play the drums.

Rita Rocks airs Mondays on Lifetime at 10pm and 10:30pm ET.
