Warning! Warning! This is not a drill ..... SHE'S BACK!!! Be afraid. Be very afraid. Stay close and we might just get through this. Join stalwart defenders of truth and justice Mark and Allen as they tackle Episode 4 of Season 3, "Ron and Tammy, part 2". NOTE: Unpaid producer Constantine is providing garlic and holy water for those who think that may help ward off she-who-must-not-be-named. (EDIT: It won't. You're all doomed.)
This week, Mark and Allen break down the Episode with the return of the evil one... that's right... RON'S EX-WIFE TAMMY!!! Tammy once again attempts to sabotage Ron's life, but he resists her wiles, mostly due to his relationship with Tom's ex-wife Wendy. However, later Wendy and Ron break up when she announces she's moving back to Canada. Meanwhile, in order to pull off the upcoming Harvest Festival, Leslie and gang need the Pawnee Police Department to volunteer as security during the event. To this end, they throw a party for the boys in blue, hoping to later ask them for the Harvest Festival favor. At the party, Ben has awkward interactions with Chief Trumple (causing Leslie to postpone asking for the favor), Ron drowns his sorrows about Wendy at the bar, and Tom arrives with Tammy as his date to get back at Ron. After fighting loudly, Ron and Tammy leave the party to try and make amends. However, a night filled with drunken sex and mayhem ensues, ending with the two getting remarried and ending up in jail. The next day, when she finds out about the arrests, Leslie asks for Ron to be released to her custody. This causes Ben to be concerned about "wasting" the earned favor. After getting Ron released, as a last ditch effort the gang holds an intervention for him, even playing a tape Ron made for himself. In a sub-plot, we see April filling in as Chris' assistant until he goes back to Indianapolis. April's cynicism and Chris' relentless optimism clash, driving April crazy. In an attempt to get fired, April purposely neglects to tell Ann that Chris cannot make a lunch date. When Ann arrives to confront Chris, however, she quickly realizes April's ploy. As always, your podcast hosts don't flinch away from the tough stuff, such as ... Will the gang's intervention for Ron work? Can Ron get through to himself? Did Leslie waste her favor with Chief Trumple? Can Ben stop being so awkward? Will Chris drive April crazy? Does April end up buying the dreaded orange post-its? Will Tom and Ron ever made amends? Can FBI Agent Burt Macklin help April out of her predicament? Constantine urges you all to tune your podcast dials and listen in, as during this show, he is presenting to the world his VERY FIRST production clip!
