Also in "The Gang misses the Boat". I think it was there he said he used it to get Barbara.

I was thinking she was mentally retarded or something like that. A dog wasn't in my mind although her smelling Crickets brothers feet should have been a clear sign.

"Charlie doesn’t freak out that the Gang has left Philly" I don't think he's freaked about that since the Trapped in the Woods episode. Wasn't that like his arc in that one?

Episodes like this does exemplify why IASIP is such a great show though. Even a "bad" episode is still hilarious through and through, just missing the cleverness and edges we're used to. This episode sorta feels like it needed an extra 10 minutes to pan out correctly, it was a bit too chaotic.
