I thought this episode was a good way to start off the season. I usually really like Louise and Millie episodes, and this was no different. Millie is the same, crazy self, leading to a lot of funny character interactions. The main plot was a lot of fun, and the message was handled in a fine way, but not that great. Also, the subplot was decent. It did have some emotional moments, but it feels kind of rushed, and I felt like the subplot with Linda and Bottle Cap should've been longer. Overall, it's a funny episode with Louise and Millie.

Besides some jokes I chuckled at, this was pretty dull. Mostly the B plot with Linda and her dog. I liked the stuff with the pixie show thing, this easily could've been 12-16 minutes and they cut the Linda stuff out because it really does slow down the otherwise good pacing. Above average at best.

For those that expect this to be "laugh-a-minute" TV, let me try to explain (or at least give you my 2 cents). The genius of Bob's Burgers is not "how funny is it?". The genius is the immersion into the world and the overall quality of its entertainment and writing. The stories are not capers and other outlandish shenanigans like American Dad / Family Guy. This is a completely different approach. This is writing with soul, finesse, heart (so much heart!) and warmth, with the most stunning achievement, in my view, being its ability to imbibe the viewer with joy. Such a thing is actually miraculous. It is the TV version of resting in a bed of goose down comforters while simultaneously receiving a neck massage, foot rub and being fed an ice-cream sundae. The characters, dialogue, outstanding animation and voice acting combine to produce the most stunning fine and complex wine. One that will be viewed in years to come as an unforgettable masterpiece which, though recognised, was under-appreciated in its time.

I've found the last season or so to be not quite up to Bob's Burgers standards, but this episode was a return to form. Any eps with Louise and Millie are just great. Nice to see Louise embracing the fact you can be a girl and a tomboy and there's nothing wrong with that :)

Absolutely loved the storyline with Linda and the flowers which brought up her trauma of losing bottle cap the dog. This show seems to be on the up and I'm glad to see it. Gene and Tina always provide the laughs as well. The heart in this show is easy to see and the writers are doing a great job. Definitely the best animated show on at the moment.

Louise Belcher is the non-binary representation we didn't know we needed! I absolutely adore that we are delving into each Belcher's psychology more and more as the seasons progress. Great start to a new season!
