Episode Summary & Review
Summary
An STD outbreak amongst Pawnee seniors prompts Leslie to conduct a sex education class. Meanwhile, Ron helps Tom adjust to life without technology after his gadgets are taken away, and Ben and April meet Congressman Murray for the first time.
Our Take
A pretty solid episode carried by its B-plots. The senior sex ed premise gets some good cringe laughs, but it’s Ron forcing Tom to live like it’s the 1800s that really lands. Ben and April’s trip to Washington is a nice setup, even if Murray himself is a one-joke character. Worth watching, just not a season highlight.
