Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Leslie and Ben come under fire for participating in an old Pawnee tradition. April and Ron go on a scavenger hunt. Donna and Garry stroll down memory lane.

Our Take

A middling episode that leans hard on Pawnee’s weird traditions for laughs, with mixed results. The pie contest stuff gets some good jabs at political optics, but April and Ron’s scavenger hunt is the real bright spot, sweet without being sappy. Donna and Garry’s stroll is pleasant filler. Fine for fans keeping up with the final season, but not one you’d revisit.
