I think a big part of it is she can tell how much Jake admires and respects her son. His very blatant affection for Holt is something I'd wager she finds quite endearing.

[@BouncingTribbles]

1:55 she's always serious. Jake was perfectly accurate

[@Robert-hz9bj]

I kind of like how Holt introduces his mom as "The Honorable Laverne Holt." I know most people probably read it as a joke about his overly-formal nature, but my personal head-canon is that he is just really, really proud of his mom and wants everyone to appreciate the magnitude of her and her accomplishments :)

[@TheNeshkey]

Also, that's her title.

[@juniperjenny287]

Putting that energy out there - I wouldn't mind a show that focused on the Holt family. I loved the episode with his sister as well as his mother. It could feature cameos from the 99, but mostly I would just like it to focus on them. Even a limited series or a movie would be nice.
