Episode Summary & Review

Summary

At a community theater, the onstage farce trickles into real life as Kyle promises to help his old mentor by romancing a wealthy female patron with the funds to save the theater.

Our Take

A tight farce episode that leans into the theater setting well, with Kyle getting his best material of the season as his fake romancing collides with actual feelings. The catering crew riffing on the dying art form of live theater gives Roman and Lydia plenty of good lines. It sags a bit in the middle when the patron subplot stalls, but the closing scenes stick the landing. Worth your time.
