Other than two talented writers saying goodbye to their toys and having fun doing it, I get nothin' from that episode of any real value.

"Ciao."
"Ciao."

It's placement in the season was late and unpleasing in terms of the arc,

This is the episode's greatest deficiency, which I personally do not hold against it.

and the message you're getting had already been pretty well delivered in earlier episodes without the use of handy anvils.

I don't begrudge anvils in a farce. Besides, it gave us "Ptooey, we'll speak of it no more!"

Oh, Edain, I liked that part too. And the "Ciao." "Ciao," of course. But it couldn't make up for the rest.

I thought it was extraordinarily silly, and I laughed like a loon.

I kept expecting the Italian head of W&H to do something sinister and interesting. She disappointed me.

I definitely thought she was interesting.

No quotes about it. I was interested in her cleavage. But I was more interested in her CiaoBella!-ness, in contrast to the W&H executives we'd previously seen.

No, she served her purpose, showing that the American dunderheads would cowboy in and mess everything up when she only needed a few bribes here and there to take care of business as usual.

So did I.

Premise of The Inside, is what I want to know. The article made me go, "Huh?" but then I see it's wrong.
