The bits of them psyching each other out were the only good parts of the episode. The rest just felt like they put all the supporting characters in a room and said, this is enough.
I enjoy quite a few if the newer episodes, but some of them also carry the “let’s just put in a bunch of references here and hope for the best”, which I truly hope won’t be the coming future of Megan Ganz directing style or whatever is happening these days.
Bring it back to classic sunny, yeah, but rely on originality still.
