Viola ultimately realizes that she wants Charlie to stay and tells her that she will leave the two of them alone if that means her son is happy. But before that can happen, Ruby approaches Viola and tells her that her efforts against Charlie to make Kevin happy are unwarranted, and points out that Viola is actually far worse than Gertrude as she doesn't ever recall Gertrude trying to poison Viola once, referring to earlier at the rehearsal dinner. Gertrude's resentment of Viola bears a strong resemblance to Viola's feelings of animosity towards Charlie, who decides to back down as she feels the same thing will happen to them in 30 years.Ĭharlie leaves to tell Kevin that the wedding is off to save his relationship with his mother. Suddenly, Viola's own dreadful mother-in-law, Kevin's grandmother Gertrude ( Elaine Stritch), appears and they have an indignant argument with Gertrude holding Viola responsible for the “terminal disappointment”, from which Gertrude claims her son, Kevin’s father, died many years ago. This leads to a violent standoff between the two, with Viola refusing to accept Charlie and stating she'll never be good enough for Kevin.

She sets out to ruin Kevin and Charlie's relationship, enlisting the help of her loyal assistant Ruby ( Wanda Sykes). Loathing Charlie immediately, Viola becomes more distraught when Kevin proposes to her, fearing she'll lose her son the same way she lost her career. Things start to sour when Kevin introduces Charlie to his mother, Viola ( Jane Fonda), a former newscaster turned talk show host, who has recently been replaced by a younger woman, causing her to have a meltdown and attack a guest on-air. But then Kevin asks her out and she believes that she has finally found the right man. At first, she thinks he's gay because of a lie his vindictive ex-girlfriend Fiona ( Monet Mazur) told her.
