Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie and Ben decide to hold a casual bowling party after hearing feedback from a focus group. April, Chris, Donna and Jerry have a contest to see who can raise the most money for Leslie’s campaign by cold calling.
Our Take
A fun, low-stakes episode that coasts on the cast’s chemistry rather than any big swings. The bowling party gives Leslie and Ben some charmingly awkward material, and the cold-calling subplot is a nice showcase for April and Chris, who make a surprisingly great pairing. Nothing here changes the game, but it’s a comfortable, consistently funny half hour well worth your time.
