Winnie returns
studioAT12 May 2020
Kevin's treatment of Becky Slater comes back to bite him in this episode.

It's nice to have the character of Winnie back after a few episodes absence, and to see a bit more development in the character.

Good stuff overall.

The Good, The Bad, and The Becky

Absolute perfection of an episode.

We get Winnie back after several episodes without her. Kevin and Winnie are the heart and soul of this show, and whenever Winnie isn't around, we all feel the absence.

Even better, we get Becky Slater as well. I swear, this character deserves to be on the All-Time Greatest Villains lists. It's so much fun to see her tear Kevin's life apart.

The comical sequence of Kevin encountering person after person he insulted -- from dorky duck-footed kids to the goddamn bus driver -- is brilliant. We usually don't get that kind of wacky comedy outside of the fantasy sequences.

I also have to draw attention to a line from Paul toward Kevin that had me pausing the episode to laugh for a good couple minutes. "And that STUPID jacket! You've never been to a Jets game in your life!" It absolutely does NOT get better than an ultra-specific burn like that.
