Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Leslie discovers her daughter, Didi, has an imaginary friend, she enlists the help of Gary to hunt him down and destroy him. This time, it’s personal.

Our Take

A solid mid-season entry that leans on the show’s usual trick of treating an absurd premise with total dead seriousness. The Gary and Leslie pairing works well, and there’s a genuinely funny bit about how imaginary friends age that I’m still thinking about. It runs out of ideas in the back half though, ending on a gag you can see coming a mile away. Fine for fans, nothing special otherwise.
