Archer’s getting ready to head to Italy to take out some bad guys but Malory isn’t letting him get the high-octane weaponry that he wants. Thankfully, with Ron’s help Sterling gets what he asks for. Meanwhile, Gillette is getting new bionic legs so that he can ‘be a real boy!’  Lana’s all for the new surgery but Archer isn’t and he plans to put a stop to it while brandishing his new rocket launcher! Unfortunately, when Archer tries to blast himself out of the weapons room, we find out that the door is blast proof and he can’t get out. Weapons dude Rodney refuses to budge on opening the door so Sterling has to zip line out of the room so that he can stop Krieger  However,  as we’ve learned from Die-Hard getting through a ventilation shaft can be rough and soon Archer passes out from heat exhaustion. After crash through the ceiling, Sterling awakes to find out that the operation on Ray was a success and that he had basically slept through the entire weekend.

Interesting episode of Archer in that for one this is third episode in a row where we are getting SOMEONE to take all of their clothes off only to find themselves in compromising positions. That said this week was very funny in that it didn’t have to do too much to get laughs i.e. big missions or trips, but somehow everything seemed to just work in the confines of the ISIS office building. Also, I am really starting to enjoy Ron and Rod as part of the plots as both offer their own two cents during any argument and usually with good rewards.  I’m also liking the increased screen time of Krieger as he is a funny as hell character that helps provide for some well-written twists and turns.

(8.0 out of 10)
