First of all, the biggest squee moment from this episode: They said they were gonna have a gay/lesbian character on the show and they did. AH!!!!!!!!!! This is wonderful. More on that later though....

I'm not a fan of actor changes without in-universe reasoning but given that Robin was barely a guest star last time, so I forgive it. Neal's friendship with Mulan was really nice, and I loved their interactions. I also love the continuity here: the globe from Oz that Jefferso
