I really enjoyed it.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I JUST got the Rockford Files reference, from reading Rogers' blog. "Joe Meeker" sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it. (Rockford had an alter ego named Jimmy Joe Meeker. Like Sam Axe has Chuck Finley.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have not watched more than ten minutes of The Office. Never liked it. But as soon as I walked past the clip in the editing bay I went "The Office?" and John nodded. It's that much a thing in my head.
That said, I liked this week's ep. I liked the conceit of them trying to do their thing under constant supervision as that slowly became complicit supervision. I liked seeing them even more try and get into normal people roles. I really liked the big not-bad guy. And I always love a little bit of confessional.
What was incomprehensible about the plot? I thought it was extra super spare because they weren't paying attention to anything. Someone was doing something weird...printing counterfeit money...and then the episode ended. My criticism would be that the plot was too simple, and there was only one scammy trick thing beyond their very presence. Not much happened. It was all character, no heist.

I loved the character bits enough to override the light plot. And ita !, you hit it. It is pretty much no heist.
About the only character beat I kinda missed seeing was Hardison being jealous/protecting Parker from the skeevy documentary dude. But I guess he was too into his conflict with Eliot.

Jimmy Joe Meeker is Rockford's backslapping cowboy alter ego...I missed that that was the alias. I thought the episode was funny, but not as exciting as usual.

I guess that was what was incomprehensible? Perhaps I am not being precise with language? It was hard to care or comprehend because they weren't paying attention to (or caring about) anything. You pretty much hit the nail on the head of what I thought about it, but I didn't like it and you did. Heh.

I was saying that there was no believable way to keep Clay on the show, but, once again, I was wrong.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I like it! It wasn't my fave episode but it had some great lines, and I did love the little interviews with the characters.
BUT? Could Hardison's pants have been tighter? Don't get me wrong; I think tight pants on Hardison are a fine idea. But he had the male version of camel toe.
"No one throws Hardison off a roof. ....Except maybe me."
"I ate the damn sammich!"
"You have ze zoul of a German!"
"I LOVE foreplay!"
Yeah, I laughed a lot.
