Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Archer, Ray, and Cyril raft down a crocodile filled river while Lana and Pam plan a spa day for Malory.

Our Take

The river rafting storyline mostly works because Archer’s paranoid rants about crocodiles are genuinely funny, though the bit runs a little long in the middle. The spa subplot is thinner and mostly exists for Malory to insult everyone, which is fine but forgettable. A solid mid-tier episode with enough good one-liners to justify the runtime.
