As the squad takes on the routine, Linda is delighted to see that Gene used her idea, but it becomes clear that the tower is about to predictably collapse.
Ambrose runs to cushion the squad's fall, saving them from danger, claiming that he did so to fulfill the dramatic twist of the "jaded advisor with a heart of gold."
And, whatever the narrative problems of its main story, this episode does strike some gold with its subplot, in which Louise volunteers to be an injured Tina's highly unreliable interpreter.
That includes Mr. Frond, who gets in a very funny cameo as someone who totally fails to grasp what an injured tongue actually means; he's a particularly good character to include in a plot like this, as voice actor David Herman's years on Futurama have made him an expert at selling more surreal gags.
"[2] Robert Ham of Paste gave the episode a 9.7 out of 10, saying "The tale of Gene, the trumped-up drama between him and Todd, and the big cheerleading competition that closes out the show almost seem anti-climactic with everything that happens before it.
I’ll be the bottom"), and their failed stunt that lands them in a heap atop Mr. Ambrose, sure make for a great conclusion to one of Season Four's best episodes.
This made it the fourth most watched show on Animation Domination that night, losing to American Dad!, The Simpsons and Family Guy with 4.40 million.
