It is the verbal equivalent of fencing, and both sides keep scoring. Somewhere a prop department is very proud of the corner. Remember "Why haven't you told Ted yet?" from S01E09? The episode does, and it has an answer. There is a new face, Nelson, who walks in like they already know how this ends. "Not sure if you know this, but the rules say you gotta pick a new captain," someone says, and the room goes quiet for exactly the right reason. An episode that makes the whole series look good.
