Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Archer is head over heels for his new valet, Aleister. Will Archer do Aleister’s recommended rehabilitation exercises or just eat himself to death?
Our Take
A middling episode that leans hard on Archer’s self-destructive streak without finding much new in it. The valet premise has a few good gags and Aleister’s dry competence plays nicely off Archer’s neediness, but the middle stretches thin. Fine for a few laughs, though you won’t miss much skipping it.
