Episode Summary & Review

Summary

While tending to the new community garden, Leslie and Tom discover someone has planted marijuana among the vegetables. In an effort to catch the people responsible, they pull an all night stakeout. With Leslie’s permission, Ann decides to go on a date with Mark.

Our Take

A tight, funny half hour that gives Tom some real material to work with as he and Leslie bicker their way through the stakeout. The Ann and Mark subplot is the weaker thread, mostly marking time, but the garden mystery keeps things moving. Season two is clearly finding its footing here, and it shows.
