Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Jerry gets mugged by a bunch of kids, Leslie meets with the head park ranger in hopes of improving park safety. Meanwhile, everyone tries to be nicer to Jerry once he returns to the office.

Our Take

This one leans hard into Jerry as punching bag, and it mostly works because the whole cast commits to feeling guilty about it in the least helpful ways possible. Andy’s survivalist nonsense is the real highlight. It’s a solid mid-season episode with some great one-liners, though the park safety plot feels thin compared to the office stuff. Worth a watch, especially for the ending.
