This was an oddly anti climatic episode for the season. It had all the right parts, but just didn't seem to gell, especially with the Mallory/Archer stuff. Lana's arc was pretty hilarious though. "Girl please, nobody is that gay."

Still don't know what a Jane Hathaway is, the Urban dictionary definition doesn't make any sense in context of what was actually said.

Have they used "sploosh" prior to this episode?

I think it's the first (and second, and third) occurrence.

What I love about this episode is how it shows Archer really takes after his mother.

And I love the contrast between Malory's .44 S&W 629 (with an optical scope and laser sight) and Archer's .32 PPK (albeit, it would be his gun by default a la James Bond).
