[2] This season transitions to a new format, moving away from revolving around a spy agency (after it is revealed ISIS was never sanctioned by the U.S. government), to depicting the characters embarking on a life of crime as they attempt to sell cocaine.

This trend would continue in future seasons with Adam Reed having said that he had grown tired of the show’s format being “mission of the week.”[4] ISIS is raided and disbanded by the U.S. government when it transpires that the agency was never sanctioned by them.

[1] Disguised as a doctor and nurse, Archer and Lana take twenty kilos of cocaine - hidden in plaster covering Pam's entire body - to a deal with an unknown buyer.

They trace Pam down (as she had left a full and detailed listing of living at Cheryl's mansion at her old apartment) as the Yakuza boss, Mr. Moto, demands the drugs be returned.

They manage to use the tunnels built under the mansion by one of Cheryl's crazy uncles to escape, and Archer cuts a deal with Moto to give away 5 million dollars worth of cocaine to even things up.

With Krieger operating an online pharmacy to distribute the cocaine to buyers, the gang has the free time to throw a neglected Lana a baby shower.

Archer takes Pam along for backup on a trip to the Tuntmore Hotel to secure a very special shower gift: a performance by Kenny Loggins.

Archer and the rest of the ISIS gang are the guests of Gustavo Calderon, dictator of fictional Central American country San Marcos, and his wife Juliana.

Cyril becomes the new president of San Marcos and forcibly takes Juliana as his wife, Cherlene becomes the first lady of country music, and Archer becomes a resistance fighter.
