[6.5/10] Solid but kind of underwhelming episode. I like Leslie’s arc here, initially rubbing Eagleton’s failure in their faces but realizing that sticking to her principles means helping their neighbors even if they’ve been jerks, just like the kids on the basketball court. The problem is that the episode basically wastes the talents of Kristen Bell, the whole change of heart is underlined super hard, and it has the usual outsized Eagleton gags that don’t really tickle my fancy. Lighter on laughs than I like too. Again, not bad, and a good idea, just not the best execution. There were far more laughs in the Ron/Tom/Donna story. Ron dealing with technology is always a solid vein of humor on this show, and him yelling at iPads or taking down pictures in restaurants labeled “man” are pretty funny instances of his desire for privacy gone mad. Tom and Donna’s reactions lead to some great stuff as well, particularly their transition to endorsing the grid to chanting “No Grid’ when helping would get them the day off. And the resolution is nice too, with Diane reminding Ron that even if he values his privacy, he has to make room for his family. Him carrying around and ancient cell phone (which, to Tom’s horror, has buttons) is a nice touch. The April-Ann story about the pair checking out April’s vet school in Bloomington is a little weak too, but it has some good April humor that helps make up for it. It lays the groundwork for Ann’s feelings about moving to Bloomington, even if again, it underlines that mini-arc about having a gut feeling pretty hard. Overall, not the show’s best episode, but the episode is sound enough to where it just feels mild rather than bad.
