Well, shit. Stuff happens in this episode. Big stuff. Character stuff that’s almost indistinguishable from plot stuff. So much stuff. Le quois?

Hey, Archer fans. James here. I’ve gotten a little behind on these recaps, what with all the movie reviews and cannibalism, but I AM CATCHING UP AND WHEN I AM CAUGHT UP THERE WILL BE A RECKONING.
