Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Tom tries to get back at Ron by going out on a date with Ron’s ex wife Tammy, while Leslie tries to protect Ron from falling prey to her charms. Meanwhile, April is assigned to work with Chris.

Our Take

This is Parks and Rec at its most unhinged, and it’s a blast watching Ron and Tammy tear each other apart in the most toxic way possible. Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally commit so hard it’s almost uncomfortable, in the best way. The April and Chris subplot is thin by comparison, but the main storyline carries the whole episode easily.
