I didn't think a musical episode would work in this show but I have to say it worked well, bringing back great characters like Angie and Dottie. However, it did seem kind of obvious that some of the singing voices weren't their actual voices such as Sousa. I also really liked the set piece for the entire musical though, how it molded from the SSR agency to the automat.
Major kudos also goes to Atwell and D'Arcy's performances in this episode, especially for their banter in the desert. I can understand Jarvis wanting revenge against Whitney but Carter is completely correct that the fact they are captured by them and stranded is also Jarvis' fault. These two have been the anchors for this show and it was great to see them call them out on each other's mishaps and flaws. It was even better for them to say what they are lucky to have for example, Jarvis has a wife and home that he can go to, but as Jarvis said they cannot have children. These two of such incredible chemistry and not romantic which I greatly enjoy.
I am very glad that Thompson is not with Vernon any more. He is a great, complex character that I really want to be a good guy. Vernon continues to annoy me cause he has no other use other than being a bad guy and a link to Thompson and Whitney. Thankfully, I think he might be gone after Wilkes blew. Wilkes might be gone but I like how kind of redeemed himself and saved Carter from the explosion. Again, Samberly was a nuisance, a kind of funny, but true nuisance especially with Rose.
Also, thank the gods that Ken Marino joined the show. He is such a joy. Whitney continues to be a strong, scary villain. I can't wait for the finale to see how they can stop her, if Wilkes hasn't killed her already.
+ Atwell and D'Arcy + Thompson's allegiance + Musical number + Manfredi and Whitney - Vernon - Just stop it with the Rose/Samberly "romance
Final Score: 8.3/10
