Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Ron and Diane take a big step forward in their relationship. Leslie goes to London. Ben and Andy try to get a grant, and Tom discovers the identity of his new rival.

Our Take

The London setting gives the season premiere some fresh air, and Ron’s unexpected European adventure is the best thing here, mining real comedy from his character. Andy’s meeting with the English lord is a nice surprise too. The rival storyline setup feels thin, though, and Leslie’s material treads familiar ground. A fun, if uneven, hour.
