Summary
Archer’s former fiancé wants him to save her cyborg boyfriend who is trapped in outer space. Archer wants…other things.
Our Take
A solid mid-season entry that leans on Barry’s return for some reliable space-set chaos, and the Archer-versus-cyborg grudge match still delivers laughs. The flashback structure feels a bit wobbly in spots and some jokes recycle old material, but the voice work and petty one-upmanship keep things moving. Worth your time if you’re already on board, though it won’t convert anyone new.
