Episode Summary & Review

Summary

While the kids recover from acute food poisoning, the Parkers decide to get some rest at a southern B&B. They are treated to southern hospitality, southern customs and Russian vodka.

Our Take

A middling episode that leans too hard on southern stereotype jokes and a strained Russian subplot. The B&B setting gives Samantha Bee and Jason Jones some decent banter, and the kids being sidelined actually helps the pacing, but the whole thing coasts. A few solid laughs land, though the twist at the end feels more shrill than shocking. Fine if you’re already on board, skippable if not.
