There's no need to go on and on - this is the best episode of this series.
The comedy is precise. The drama, FINALLY, plays out eloquently. The cheesy music is still there but it blends into the background because you're engrossed with the story. The actors are all perfectly on note. If season two can continue with this momentum, "Scrotal Recall" could become appointment television / water cooler fodder / talked about by everyone.
Writer/creator Tom Edge has excellent bookends (ep 1 and 6) with his series. The middle episodes are not as sharp but they have enough highlights to get one through. Overall, a fine balance between flashbacks and present day drama complement each other well. Similar flashback set ups exist on "Arrow", slightly with "How I Met Your Mother" and others. In the case of "Scrotal Recall", the effect is well thought out, well executed, and easy watching.
