Summary

Archer is faced with a dilemma when his murdered fiancée, Katya, miraculously reappears. In Krieger’s lab.

Our Take

A surprisingly emotional hour for a show that usually dodges sincerity, and it mostly lands. Katya’s return gives Archer a real dilemma to chew on, and the jokes about cyborg anatomy are exactly as wrong as you’d hope. It runs a touch long in the middle, but the ending earns its weight. Worth your time, even if you’re here mainly for the insults.
