Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie tries to complete some of her biggest city council goals, like hosting an NFL Play 60 event with the Indianapolis Colts, and trying to add fluoride to Pawnee’s drinking water. Meanwhile, Chris and Ron attempt to bond while building cribs for their future children.
Our Take
A solid if scattered half hour, with Leslie’s fluoride fight delivering the best material thanks to Pawnee’s reliably absurd public hysteria. The Ron and Chris crib-building subplot is sweet but thinner than it should be given how well those two play off each other. Worth watching for the town meeting scenes alone, just don’t expect a classic.
