One of my favorite episodes where many of the cast (and the guest stars) get to shine. There's a lot of intentional absurdity, but also a lot of genuine underlying emotion. The 'pyramid scheme' and the revenge thanks to Abshir are some of the most delightful bits of the season and you have to cringe for Ed as he realizes he's the butt of the joke.
A win for everyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
(Note: big round of applause for the costume designers who went whole hog this episode! The rich people are delightfully over the top. Not historical, as historical is not the point, but perfect for setting the characters.)
