How Larry acts around Irma makes this episode. His utter disgust with everything she does is a highlight of the season. The line-up disagreement doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the episode's plot making it feel a bit out of place. The house husband business is a decent laugh but predictably falls apart like anything Leon 'helps' Larry out with. 3.5-3 out of 5.
The opening phone conversation where everything is misinterpreted is great! Add in Leon just listening in eating chips for added gold. From there, nothing beats it. A decent episode.
A better episode than the last one as the subplots felt less forced. The best scene here is seeing how angry Larry gets when his ideas for the mini bar aren't accepted. It reminded me of the great scene when Ted Danson doesn't swap sandwiches with him back in season 7. Larry poking fun at the stupidity of using 'they' to address one person is a highlight as well. Maria Sofia losing it about her jacket being 'stolen' is also a laugh. Still not the laugh a minute show it used to be but a worthy episode.
As with previous episodes, the favourite shirt vendetta Freddy has seems ridiculous and, although we don't see him too much, it seems out of character. The "irasshaimase" subplot isn't far off. The scene with Larry telling Jeff the secrets and Leon overhearing is the highlight here. "I'll tell you a secret, that shirt is fucked."
