Parks and Recreation: Episode 9, Season 7

Parks and Recreation: Episode 9, Season 7


"Pie-Mary"

Synopsis:
Ben and Leslie decide to skip the candidates' wives pie contest (The Pie-Mary). April breaks the news to Ron that she is going to move to Washington. Ron is frustrated with her continued government work but tells her that she needs to give the spare key to his house back. Opting out of the pie contest is a bad plan it turns out. Reporters focus on her skipping the Pie-Mary and if it's a a statement. She would be the first wife to break tradition. April meanwhile can't find the key because the box she stashed it in has a note "If you are looking for Ron's key, I moved it and you'll never find it." Ron loves puzzles and is going to use the clues in the box to solve the mystery. Ben decides to enter the contest instead of Leslie to avoid making any statement. This causes a men's rights organization, the Male Men, to protest Ben's oppression by Leslie.

They try to smooth it all over with a press conference that leads with mixed feelings but a big backer for Ben. It turns out that the quest for the key is pointless because Ron changes his locks periodically. April remembers where she left it. She buried the key by a big oak tree because the tree reminded her of Ron, both are strong and quiet and is always there when you need him.

Review:
I loved this episode. Ron and April's friendship has always been one of the more interesting ones in Parks and Rec. They are the ones who like people the least and are the harshest. They're partial goodbye was classic them. Parks and Rec seem to be commenting on the "Menimist" movement that has been happening (on a small scale) on social media sites.

MY GRADE: A

Reviewer's Quotes:
Tonight’s entries are both terrifically funny, and, like “Donna And Joe,” they gain so much vital comedic vitality from all the energy found elsewhere in the storytelling. -  Alasdair Wilkins
