Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie is literally left speechless when her planned address at a big media event is stolen. Ben starts his new job working at the Sweetums Charity Foundation, and Ann works up the courage to ask someone an important question.
Our Take
This one coasts on Leslie’s gift for public meltdowns, and the speechless bit at the lunch gets some good mileage out of her usual bulldozer energy failing her for once. Ben’s new gig and Ann’s storyline are fine but thin, more setup than payoff. A perfectly pleasant half hour, just nothing you’ll remember next week.
