This one is about Joe being targeted by a sniper and Peggy being taken hostage by him.

The first third of the episode is pretty good but then quickly goes downhill after that when the focus shifts to the actual sniper, whose constant cackling isn't interesting or scary at all but is actually really annoying and dumb.

Of course, you KNOW nothing's going to happen to either Joe or Peggy because without them there wouldn't be a show, so there's absolutely no suspense, but just a lot of silly cackling and taunting, all of which is very tedious and unimpressive.

The one bright spot is the brawl in the bar which happens early on, but everything after that is a dumpster fire.

This is quite an embarrassing spectacle.
