Thoughts

I wish I liked this episode more. There were a few good chuckles but on the whole it felt a bit forced. Matthew and Joe were given very little to do in this episode. I didn't care for Mr. James role in this one. I don't recall if this storyline is continued in the next or any of the other remaining episodes in this series.
