- Quotes
Jerry Gergich: When they're missing this long, they're usually dead.
Tom Haverford: Well, if that's true, then you're gonna have to answer to the whole town. And God!
Jerry Gergich: You were the one who let him out, Tom, okay? Now stop trying to blame me!
April Ludgate: Jerry, can you please be quiet? I can't hear myself not talking to Andy.
Andy Dwyer: Ron, will you please tell me why April is mad at me?
April Ludgate: Ron, can you please tell Andy...
Ron Swanson: All of you, be quiet! Andy, she's mad because you said 'Awesome sauce!' instead of 'I love you too.' April, he loves you. Stop being a child. Tom, you're clearly at fault here - blaming Jerry won't save you. Jerry, we both know you were shotgunning funnel cakes instead of watching 'Lil Sebastian. So everyone apologize to everyone else!

Everything seems to be going smoothly until word spreads that the site is cursed due to Li'l Sebastian going missing. The entire episode revolves around Leslie trying to keep the festival from becoming a total disaster and the rest of the department searching for the missing tiny horse.
There is so much great stuff to take away from this episode: Ken Hotate messing with white people; Andy not saying "I love you" back to April; Donna giving Ann dating advice; and Ben and Leslie dorkinly (is that a word?) flirting with one another by pretending to shoot lasers from their hands. This episode is a ton of fun and it builds to a great ending which I won't spoil, but is one of my favorite final shots in any Parks episode.
Quick side note: One of the issues I have with Season 3 is that the main arch for the season ends too soon into the season. Surprisingly though, the season does not lose its momentum despite not having a main arch to follow for the rest of the season. There are even more classic Parks episodes still to come in this season, so stay tuned!
