Not a Boosh!, but a Kakow!. Also, medicine baller.

Of course Krieger has an idea that putting mascara on a pig is harder than lipstick.

Pam and Cheryl are awesome. I plan on using "I'm getting the next bus out of this hick town" and "I'll stop, but not apologize" when the situation demands. And then dropping the vase for no reason whatsoever.

One thing I'm liking this season is that everyone seems to be getting more screentime and together. There's usually a few moments where most of them are clumped are together.

Encyclopedia Brown references FTW.

And nice return of phrasing, too.

This whole scenario is a setup, right? But by whom?

Sounds like maybe the lawyer Shapiro? She seemed like she didn't really want to wear the necklace where he said she insisted on it. Also, he should probably recognize them as the people who broke into his house. They cut the cameras but only after arguing for a while.

I thought they came clean to Shapiro when they were kidnapped by the bikers, did I misunderstand?

They owned up to Shapiro and he was pissed. He made a comment here about why he's still employing them, something about short notice.

He was also dismissive about why he was paying them 50k for a couple hours work.
I think he's involved and will get killed right before he's about to reveal who his accomplice is.

Must have missed that. The episode started a bit early I guess because my DVR cut off some of the beginning.

Veronica Deane also thought Archer was somebody else. Could be a setup to screw both his ex-husband and file insurance for the necklace.

Favorite moments:
absolutely everything w.r.t. Cheryl & Encyclopedia Brown
Cyril standing up for himself
Cheryl got her clown wish

Shapiro definitely orchestrated the robbery.
