Episode Summary & Review
Summary
While Leslie and April take a business trip to Washington, April wrestles with her future. Back in Pawnee, Andy tries to find April the perfect job.
Our Take
This one leans hard on April’s career crisis, and Aubrey Plaza sells the confusion well even if the resolution feels a bit tidy. The Washington setting gives Leslie and April some nice one-on-one time that the final season hasn’t had room for. Andy’s job hunt back home is mostly filler, but the episode earns its emotional beats. A solid, if unspectacular, half hour.
