Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jeff organizes a lovely holiday gathering at his apartment but Annie secretly invites Professor Cornwallis, to get in his good graces. When it becomes apparent that Professor Cornwallis intends to give them a bad grade on their joint History paper, the atmosphere quickly deteriorates and the group takes decisive action.
Our Take
A tense little bottle episode that mostly works because the cast is good at playing paranoia in a cramped apartment. The hostage premise gets a few solid laughs, though the reveal lands softer than the buildup deserves. It’s a decent Christmas episode, nothing more, but the Malcolm McDowell of it all helps pass the time nicely.
