Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Leslie throws a hasty Galentine’s Day in an attempt to find a replacement for Ann. Tom and Ben look to finalize a deal on tents for the Unity Concert, while Ron finds himself looking after Andy.

Our Take

Leslie scrambling to fill an Ann-shaped hole gives Amy Poehler some genuinely funny desperation, and the Andy/Ron pairing delivers the best jokes of the half hour. The Tom and Ben tent subplot is filler that goes nowhere. A decent, slightly melancholy episode that works better as a goodbye to what’s ending than as a story on its own.
