* BecomingTheMask: The whole gang gets sucked into Casteau's little world. Archer enjoys being a sous-chef so much that he doesn't even care about the assignment. Cyril gets bullied into focusing on food prep. Ray is trying to figure out how to get the highest tip. Even Lana allows Casteau to sidetrack her over the proper way to handle callers looking for reservations. Nobody actually pays much attention to protecting the ambassador.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Apparently it never occurred to Malory that replacing the professional staff of the restaurant with her own employees would not make for an especially fine dining experience. Also, insisting on eating there the same night as the diplomatic dinner meant that the menu would consist entirely of Albanian cuisine.

Also, insisting on eating there the same night as the diplomatic dinner meant that the menu would consist entirely of Albanian cuisine. Malory also seemingly failed to consider that since Lana was posing as the hostess, she could have just told her to write Malory into the reservation book on any date she wanted, rather than allowing ComplexityAddiction to have her make Cheryl try to get her a booking by calling in like any other would-be patron.
