Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Leslie and Ben travel back to his hometown of Partridge, MN to accept the key to the city. Ron gets served a lawsuit from councilman Jamm, while Ann and Chris take a compatible parenting quiz.
Our Take
A solid mid-season episode that splits its attention three ways, with Ben’s hometown trip carrying the best material. The lawsuit subplot gives Ron and Leslie some fun friction, though the Ann and Chris quiz stuff feels like the show spinning its wheels. Nothing groundbreaking, but the jokes land more often than not and it’s an easy watch.
