Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Having trouble letting go of his leadership position, Ron and Henry clash at a fundraiser where parents will do anything to get their kids into an exclusive elementary school.

Our Take

A solid mid-tier episode that leans hard on the Ron and Henry power struggle, and Ken Marino sells every pathetic beat of it. The rich parents trying to buy their kids’ futures make for some good cringe comedy, though a few bits go on longer than they should. Not the season’s funniest half hour, but the catering crew bickering in a room full of awful people is still reliably fun.
