Archer
returned with an all-new episode titled “Bernice.” The name will mean more once
we start reviewing the episode. I enjoyed the premiere, and this follow-up did
not disappoint. This episode brought in plenty of laughs and left us wanting
more by ending on a cliffhanger. So, without further a due let’s review this
episode. A SPOILER ALERT is now in effect for the remainder of this review.
The episode
starts where the premiere left off with Archer pointing a gun at Charlotte. She
immediately starts to beat him up with her purse, because she wants them to
fake her murder not kill her. She
continues by insulting him and his office and explains payment and it includes
her body which she says is nonnegotiable.
Archer wasn’t up to the task and blames it on a rough night and his ear
hurting. Which leads her to say with much excitement I have codeine. Both start
consuming it like candy while eating at a diner.
They begin
to discuss this half-concocted plan. Archer explains that she needs someone
with similar features and dental records to make this work. Here's when things
get even weirder as Charlotte shows him a dead body in her truck. She shows
Archer the dead maids teeth and moves her around like a marionette. Disturbing
but oddly very funny and Archer’s facial expressions during this scene make the
moment even more humorous. Charlotte
tells Archer how the maid's death was her brother’s fault because he got her
pregnant. And that led her to get an abortion that resulted in her untimely
death. To put Archer's mind at ease, she promises to give another 10,000 to the
maid’s family. It doesn’t help for closure but maybe clears her conscious. So,
the plan now is to drive the body off a cliff to make it look like Charlotte
got in a fatal car accident. But first,
the maid must look the part, so they drive to Charlotte’s hotel.
Meanwhile,
Barry is in a hospital bed with no feet, while Len Trexler tries to give him a
pep talk. He calls a number for Barry and Krieger is on the other line. It
looks like cyborg Barry may make an appearance in Dreamland. Len Trexler meets
Figgis and Poovey to talk about his stolen shipment of Chinese women, and he
wants them back as soon as possible. Back with Archer and Charlotte, they start
to argue over what to do with the body. She refuses to dress the body outside
and says they must bring it inside.
Crazy right but they do it, and the bell hopper didn’t even think they
look suspicious he just opens the door. Archer gives the maid a name which is
the title of the episode Bernice. But
then Charlotte starts to argue again about going through the revolving door
instead because it releases less air conditioning. And Archer replies, “the regular door is wide
ass open.” So, the point is mute. The back and forth between these two characters
was so entertaining to watch and kept me laughing.
They make it
up to the room and Archer starts putting makeup on Bernice which looks
horrible. The two argue again and then start making out and end up in bed
together in the next scene. Charlotte
begins to talk about whoever ransacked his office knew he would be there at the
time. They both get dress and head over
to Dreamland because Archer believes Mother is behind what happened at his
office. Once they arrive Figgis and Poovey are already talking to Mother
because they think she is to blame for the missing shipment. Mother turns down the allegations, and the
two leave and Figgis purposely bumps into Archer and calls him a dick. Which Archer says, “slang for detective so
not an insult.”
Archer tries
to accuse her but that’s quickly shot down, and she tells him to come back at
midnight for another job. He says yes and then goes to retrieve Charlotte to
leave. But before they could go they bump into Lana Kane which makes Archer all
nervous. Charlotte sees that he likes Lana and proceeds to yell out that she
had sex with Archer. Leaving Archer
mortified and contemplated throwing her off the cliff instead. As the two of them are driving, she continues
to annoy him by repeatedly saying there’s someone following them. But Archer
ignores her and pulls over to the spot where they’re going to push the car
over. Archer exits the car and is immediately run over, and Charlotte rushes to
his side. It causes another army flashback, and Charlotte shoots three times at
some unsuspecting tourists whose headlights weren’t working.
Archer says
your crazy, and I’m thinking duh she’s nuts. Archer gets the body out of the
trunk and Charlotte is holding the lighter fluid. Then headlights turn on from
behind revealing Figgis and Poovey have been following them, and the episode
ends. It is great because the viewers and I can't wait to see what crazy things
happen next. The next episode will air next Wednesday on FXX at 10:00 PM Archer
Dreamland “Jane Doe.” Can’t wait to see more of this season’s comedic and epic
moments unfold.
