Recap / Archer S 4 E 12 Sea Tunt Part 1

Go To

The ISIS agents, Malory, and Cheryl's brother Cecil venture to the Bermuda Triangle to recover a stranded hydrogen bomb.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Back-Alley Doctor: Archer attempts to do a makeshift tracheotomy with a crazy straw on Pam during her allergic soy reaction. Whether or not it would work is rendered moot when they find an EpiPen. It didn't stop Pam from beating up Archer for trying, though.
  • Call-Back: Malory recounted when Cheryl led Barry to the ISIS safe house where he killed Nikolai.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: As crazy as Cheryl is, she was right when she believed that this whole expedition was an excuse for Cecil to get her inheritance.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Cecil did make up a bomb threat to get ISIS on tape in order to get his sister's inheritance, but he is right in the fact that Cheryl is crazy and nearly killed everyone. Even Pam doesn't hide the fact to Cheryl.
  • Medium Awareness: Cheryl can hear the soundtrack.
  • Obnoxious In-Laws: Cheryl hates Cecil's girlfriend with a passion, and she also hates Cecil for his alleged attempts to get her inheritance money (she was right, though, but it was proving his point anyway).
  • The Reveal: The hydrogen bomb is a hoax (which Malory admits she herself had it coming after her fake threats in the past) and it was all an excuse to get Cheryl's inheritance. And there is another reason why he needed their help.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Pam continues to eat soy crab even though she is deadly allergic to soy. Admittedly, there is a first aid kit with an EpiPen onboard, but still.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Even when she was young, Cheryl burned down a gazebo for no other reason than for thrill. Cecil admits that it's no surprise she still does that.
