[6.8/10] This ep wasn't as sharp as some of the others this season have been. There were funny scenes -- particularly the one with Selina having lunch with Gary and Dana (which was the right amount of strained politeness, impertinentness, and crossed wires all around), and great lines (Mike's "please don't make me go to numbers camp" was superb) but there just felt like more flab and go-nowhere stuff on this one than usual.

Mike and Dan stalking Jonah didn't really lead to much and felt like a kind of pointless subplot, even if Jonah losing his West Wing parking was amusing enough as trophy taken away from here. Selina's song and performance was actually pretty good! And the brief but barbed small talk between her and Chung (who continues to not-so-casually mention his war record at the drop of a hat) was nicely done. Even the conclusion -- that it's Jonah's social media prowess that gets Selina in trouble, is a nice bit.

Again, it's not like anything was out-and-out bad, but overall this just lacked the momentum and tight feel of the prior episodes this season.
