Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Parks Department forms a partnership with a local company to sell energy bars at the parks in Pawnee, but Leslie tries to stop the deal when she discovers how unhealthy the snacks are. Mark reluctantly agrees to help Tom move out of his house.
Our Take
A solid midseason episode that leans into Pawnee’s corporate satire, and the Sweetums stuff gives Leslie a fun fight to pick. The Tom and Mark subplot is thinner but has enough awkward moments to earn its place. Not a landmark episode, but the jokes land consistently and it’s an easy, enjoyable half hour.
