Spoilers Below

 

Mr. and Mrs. Archer are checking into a hotel with Malory’s stolen card and by Mr. and Mrs. Archer, I mean Lana and Sterling checking into a hotel so as to thwart a big uranium sale. Once they get into the room, Archer can only think about ordering up room service and living the good life while Lana is actually trying to get some real work done. After getting a mani AND a pedicure, Archer does join Lana scaling up and down the hotel they are staying in when all of the sudden Sterling discovers that Lana got a bigger bonus than he did as a result of his mother taking his away as payback for stealing her credit card. When Archer finds out, he FLIPS! Especially, when he gets demoted in favor of Lana for the team lead causing him to go try and fuck up the whole mission.

Meanwhile, Pam is teasing Cyril about the fact that his lady Lana is out with another dude and he is eventually convinced by Cheryl to snoop on the undercover agents.  Eventually, the ISIS crew are able to find and peer into Archer and Lana’s room only to find that they aren’t having sex, rather they have been captured and are near death. Thankfully, Cyril saves the day, but not before getting punched in the face by Sterling then I think getting dumped by Lana. But, who was buying the Uranium? We might not ever know, but we do know that Lana was in charge and that means she has to help pay for damages, too.

The thing that continues to put me in awe of this show is by far and away the action sequences that have yet to be matched by any animated series. Hell, Floyd County does a better job of action sequences than the Animatrix movie…remember that piece of shit? With that said, Archer and Lana flying up and down the hotel was as good as it gets when it comes to animation, and the fight scenes were hysterically written, perfectly executed, and totally unexpected. But, Cheryl and Pam seem to just get in the way of most episodes this season, as they along with the other members of ISIS are relegated to this ‘OK, let’s check in with them status’ versus any kind of scenes with Merit. Oh yea, and where the fuck is, Ron Cadillac? Bring him back. One-liners abound, Archer was even better than the real Honeymooners.

(9.0 out of 10)
