Archer Vice: House Call (5×04)
Summary: Bad luck keeps racking up for the ISIS team as they’re paid an unexpected visit by FBI Agent Holly while Pam is having a cocaine freak out. Krieger improves upon his mind control chip, leaving the team to decide whether to use it to help Pam or to get Cheryl over her stage fright.
Rating: ★★★★★
Oh my GOD, this episode was so much fun! It’s kind of everything I love about Archer to the point it makes it hard to recap it like I usually do. Not to mention it kind of starting to roll the plot for the season.
So, the basic plot run down is that Pam’s cocaine addiction has reached the point that she’s lost a dangerous amount of weight (except in her boobs) and she keeps finding ways to get into the stock. The team wants to send her to rehab, but she refuses and ends up kidnapping Cheryl and carrying her around the back tunnels of the house. Right when this happens, FBI Agent Holly comes a calling and begins to sweep the house when he hears Cheryl’s screaming. The team scrambles to find Pam and Cheryl as well as make sure that Holly doesn’t find the cocaine.
Oh, and there’s a thing about Krieger updating the mind control chip that he used on Len Trexler and Malory wanting to use it on Cheryl to get her over her stage fright. And Ron leaves Malory, which was a long time coming.
Well, what’s exactly clever about this plot?

The writing isn’t just pop culture references though. The episode also does an amazing job of showing just how wrong the characters can get. Malory plots to kill Pam by making her OD on cocaine, Krieger reveals that he’s known for ages how to get Ray’s legs to work again but just decided not to in some twisted Krieger logic that makes Ray be completely depressed, Cheryl enables Pam’s coke addiction because she gets off on being carried around by her, Holly is kind of insane for an FBI agent, and Cyril ultimately decides he wants a mind controlled Cheryl over a healthy Pam. Because boobs. It’s so freaking wrong all around to the point it manages to become so goddamn right.
However, there’s also those brief moments where the characters are actually somewhat decent people. There’s a scene where Lana is by herself and contemplates making a run for it, but she doesn’t know what kind of future that would hold for her baby. Archer comes in using Woodhouse for a shield against tranquilizers (which Krieger just so happened to have) and starts talking to Lana about her thought process. He reveals that he’s actually looked into pregnancy complications because he was worried about her. When Lana breaks down crying over the possibility of serving time in prison and never getting to see her baby, Archer sweetly offers her a head start to leave and jokingly suggests that she give him a blow job first. She starts laughing and says that she can’t leave him.
I really do love those moments between Archer and Lana. They are so rare, but that’s what makes them perfect in the context of the show. Because it shows that despite all the bickering and trouble they’ve had, they really do care about each other. A lot, actually. These characters are awful people, yes, but I love that Sterling Malory Archer will be a decent human being for Lana Kane, even if only for five seconds at a time.
Which is about how long that moment lasts before Lana is beating Archer again.

The episode ends with Pam still addicted to cocaine, Holly hot on the team’s trail, Archer contemplating going abroad to find buyers, and Cheryl completely transforming into Cherlene thanks to the mind control chip. I am so psyched for the rest of the episodes that you don’t know how sad it makes me that the next episode is three weeks away.

A must read post!
For the sake of making an useful product comparisons, we’ve looked at routers in
this array that discuss similar characteristics including IEEE
802.11n wi fi standards, 2.4-ghz band and dual antennas.
If you are looking for a new router, nothing less
than an n layer 3 switch should be considered. For those who possess a wireless g router, it would be
best to update to a wireless n router. The latest routers also raise speed with Wi-Fi Quality of Service applications (QoS)
common, which makes effective use of Ethernet connections by prioritizing multimedia visitors based
on the program’s sensitivity to delay. Many wireless n routers additionally
apply multiple-input and numerous-output (MIMO) radio antennae to boost speeds.
