Pam's sandwich ruins everyone's dinner by releasing something deep inside of them.
We know this is the final season, I am 100% for making callbacks to olden days like Brett.

My DVR cut off right when Brett's ship was destroyed. Did anything happen after that? My brain decided that Krieger said "Oh, did I forget to mention the eggs are also extremely explosive?" and cut to credits, but I'm probably wrong.

Yeah, there was zero indication that the eggs could prove a hazard to a starship, so that was kind of random.
Are the eggs simply a nod to Futurama's Omicronian larva?
It's so Archer of Archer to adopt Pam's sandwich as a pet with elevated privileges from him than the rest of the crew, but/ and I kinda liked that the facehugger stand-in was a cuddlesome face hugger.

I thought this was sort of a miss, as I didn't think it advanced the plot much. And, I don't feel we learned anything about the characters we didn't already know. YMMV.

They're steadily moving past pastiche into parody, with more than a hint of farce. I love it.

Farewell, Benedict ... though we might see you in the future (just me guessing).
