Uncle Jack is another great comic creation in a show stuffed to bursting point with them - I especially liked the old-school backstory for him and having him carried around by the enormous Dragon is a clever way of writing in some great physical comedy. Even the vomiting jokes feel more humorous than disgusting. Seeing him fall backwards off the horse made me laugh and telling Michael he loves to take a guy down has he lies on the floor after being shot into Tobias is suitably surreal.

I liked the way that all the storylines came together at the resort and spa at the end and the looming confrontation between Buster and Gob over Lucille 2 coming to a head. Buster's passive-aggressive jealousy has been simmering for a few episodes now and so to see him try to square his brother is both funny and satisfying - the look on his face when Gob says Lucille 2 is his girlfriend is worth the episode alone. There are more wig jokes with Sitwell, and watching a pool attendant pull out his wet Edgar Winter wig from the jacuzzi is strangely off-putting. There's another good end sequence as Michael's plans to become president are thwarted again.
