History Recap / ParksAndRecreationS06E04

* WhatTheHellHero: Ron calls out Leslie on the Loyalty Contracts and tells her that she has lost her mind.

* ValleyGirl: April's Eagleton Doppelganger, Tynnyfer. Also invoked by April who impersonates her, all for one big practical joke involving sending Tynnyfer to Dwyane Wade's house.

Tom, knowing that the ERIC program will no doubt replace him, makes sure Leslie thinks "Eric" is a terrible person by describing him as a someone with a bad attitude, unreliable, and a racist. Ron Dunn decides to leave and pursue a different path. April tricks Tynnyfer into going to Dwayne Wade's house. As for the other Eagleton workers, only Craig is competent, and when Donna realizes how passionate he is about his job, she offers to give it up for him. However, she's allowed to keep her job.

Having realized how selfish she was being regarding Ann's news, Leslie agrees to sit down with Ann and talk things over.

Chris and Ben go out to dinner after a long day of auditing and sorting out the financial mess Eagleton left behind. Both of them eventually realize that their former life was never really that great, as they remember the times where after a long day of slashing budgets in a random town, they'd end up back in a crummy hotel and eating together in a sleazy bar, much like where they are right now. They agree that things are better now because they both have someone special in their lives. Chris then tells Ben that he and Ann are leaving Pawnee. Ben is sad about this but is happy for them.

* {{Doppelganger}}: The gang at Pawnee City Hall meet their counterparts after Pawnee annexes a broke Eagleton and everyone from the Eagleton government comes over. Hilariously, Ron's doppelganger is a sandal-wearing vegan.

* MaliciousMisnaming: When Jerry returns from retirement, he asks his coworkers start calling him by his real name. April declares his name is "Larry Gengurch" and it sticks.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Ron Dunn is a nature loving vegan with an affinity for astrology.

* ShadowArchetype: The eponymous Eagleton doppelgangers act as this to the Pawnee Parks and Rec employees. Ron Dunn, in particular, shares many similarities with Ron Swanson (a love for the outdoors, a stern and stoic demeanor, a ''magnificent'' moustache, and is a TerseTalker), as well as many differences (practices veganism, is into astrology, and abhors violence of any kind).

* AbsenteeActor: Chris Pratt does not appear in this episode.

'''Leslie:''' Things are exactly the way there were back in 1817. Except, you know, women and minorities can vote, we have indoor toilets and we no longer burn widows for learning arithmetic.

Chris and Ben relive their old auditing days together and demonstrate their amazing teamwork with their infamous good cop/bad cop routine: Chris gets everyone in a good mood in the lead up to Ben swooping in and hacking the situation with a machete. While they're excited to see Pawnee and Eagleton are merging to create a bigger, better city, Eagleton's government lost millions of taxpayer dollars, leaving Chris and Ben have to clean up the obscene mess they have made.

* NewAgeRetroHippie: Ron Dunn.

* FunWithAcronyms: Tom's job is threatened by the implementation of a computer program, E.R.I.C.('''E'''agleton '''R'''eservation '''I'''nformation '''C'''enter). Tom replaces it with T.O.M. ('''T'''own '''O'''rganizational '''M'''atrix).

Eagleton has been absorbed into Pawnee, and Leslie has to integrate Eagleton's government workers into Pawnee's government departments. Each member of the Parks Department meets with his or her Eagleton counterpart. Ron meets Ron Dunn, whom he at first likes until he finds out Dunn is a vegan hippie. Donna meets Craig, a very intense and slightly crazy man. April meets Tynnyfer, a shallow unintelligent woman April declare the "worst person" she's ever met. Tom thinks he is going to meet a guy named Eric, but it turn out to be a computer program called ERIC ('''E'''agleton '''R'''eservation '''I'''nformation '''C'''enter). Ann meets her counterpart, Evelyn. In addition, Jerry has come back to work. When he asks everyone to call him by his real name, but April starts calling him Larry Gengurch, and the name sticks. However, there are too many employees, so Leslie has to cut some staff.

Ann meets her counterpart, Evelyn. In addition, Jerry has come back to work. When he asks everyone to call him by his real name, Gary, April starts calling him Larry, and that name sticks.

Now that there are too many employees, Leslie has to cut staff. She interviews each pair. When she finds out that Ann and Chris will be leaving Pawnee, she becomes angry and, instead of talking things out with Ann, yells at everyone.

Tom convinces Leslie that "Eric" is a terrible person. As for the other Eagleton workers, only Craig is competent, and when Donna realizes how passionate he is about his job, she offers to give it up for him.

Leslie finally talks with Ann. Both Donna and Craig will remain with the Parks Department.
