A very solid hour of TV, with important and deftly-handled subject matter, that flies by as breezily as an episode of OG Law & Order. I caught this episode on its own out of context (haven't even seen the rest of the show) and enjoyed it a lot. I especially like how well the strippers were characterized as people, rather than just plot devices (having the main plaintiff one be a D&D player who runs a Discord server was great) and never used as the butt of the joke, opting instead to get laughs out of the cast's various levels of starchy, squirming discomfort. I enjoyed it a lot.

Warning: Spoilers
With only one more episode left until the break for this show I do not know at all what they were going for with this episode. Too lengthy a scene with the strip club and nothing was accomplished by it in the end.
If they want to go with the abuse route and people being taken advantage of, that subject matter deserves so much more than the near end of an episode. That is an entire hour of TV on its own.
And then the stuff with Mark and Amy is beyond boring. Had to expect the ex-husband would come back into the fold at some point, but they did it in the most predictable and boring way they possibly could.
