* HumiliationConga: Malory comes along on the mission for no apparent reason other than that she wants to take a train trip to Canada. She is incredibly abusive to the porter and acts like she owns the place -- only to discover that Cheryl is aboard the train and ''does'' own it! Cheryl refuses to allow Mallory to use her private train cars (plural), even though Pam and Ray are (as well as one of them claimed by her pet ocelot). The porter, informed by Cheryl that he won't get in trouble for not putting up with Malory, subsequently refuses to serve her in any way. Plus, of course, between Archer and Cyril the mission gets massively bungled. Which results in ISIS being blacklisted by the RCMP and everyone in the group banned from Canada. Malory is even less happy than usual.
