In Season 5 Episode 18 ("Spaghetti Sauce and a Dumpster Fire") of "Mom," Marjorie and Christy have a fight, and in the process, split up as sponsor and sponsee. While looking around their AA meeting for a possible replacement, Christy suggests Katherine to Jill, and Jill responds, "Are you crazy? You don't want a knitter!" She points out that Katherine's other sponsor, Denise, wears a butterfly sweater that Katherine made for her. Later Marjorie reveals to Christy that — a year since she lost her last sponsor — she finally has a new one: Katherine. "The knitter? She might make you a butterfly sweater," Christy tells Marjorie. "Wouldn't that be wonderful?" she replies in delight. Four episodes later, Marjorie's wish came true: she's shown wearing a butterfly sweater at the end of one of their AA meetings.
The small detail was caught by u/dietwater22, who posted the observation on a "Mom" subreddit. Another Redditor, u/zoomzoomkazoo commented, "I remember finally noticing this on one of my rewatches. Such a fun detail!" Fans loved how Marjorie didn't care if others found her too abrasive or too positive; she came across as genuine, and committed to looking at the bright side. The role was a true testament to what a fantastic actress Mimi Kennedy is.
