Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie is upset when she learns the library department wants to take over her lot. Making matters worse, the library is run by Ron’s ex wife Tammy, who still has a powerful emotional hold on him. Meanwhile, Andy gets a job in hopes of winning Ann back.
Our Take
Ron and Tammy is the episode where Parks and Rec fully figures out what a mess Ron Swanson is, and Megan Mullally is gloriously unhinged as the one person who can unravel him. The library plot is thin, but watching Ron’s mustache-owning stoicism collapse in real time carries the whole half hour. Worth it for the pit scene alone.
