Perhaps it is not a coincidence that these episodes also did not feature any comedy-within-the-comedy.

Deborah is emceeing a charity golf tournament where attendees will include all the affiliate heads plus the internet CEO.
(I love the way she says Kristen Stewart when describing this venture as veryTwilight-coded.)
But despite this obvious inevitability, I still loved this episode.
Last week,I asked you all if Ava is too hapless for the shows own good.
Deborah is right: Ava is young!
She should focus more on herself and less on forcing a relationship.
(You cant re-cork Champagne really got me!)
Just phenomenal line readings all around.
I dont even know you!
They are not doing a loop.
It is time to settle in for the night.
They are as out of their depths as Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory.
Anything I want to do, I have to do now, or else Ill never do it.
And then miracle of miracles!
the girls are SAVED by tweens on motorbikes!!
Such a great shot of them riding away on the back of thesecool riders.
The boys only want Mikes Hard Lemonade.
But Ava is appropriately moved by the gesture.
By the next episode, Power Play, the girls are home and the holidays are approaching.
Deborah is a pro.
She has flash cards.
She needs ten tasteful hole jokes.
Before the trip, the whole gang makes a stop at DJs gender reveal.
DJ punches a dummy hard enough to behead it and BLUE powder comes out.
Deborahs totally measured response to this: Christmas is MY holiday.
She can have 9/11.
Before the toxic blue dust even settles, Deborah and Ava are off to the golf tournament.
His grandfather isliterally the G in MGM!)
(I would HAPPILY let a socialist pee on me!)
Theres so much out there for her besides being Wolfgirls plus-one!
All of Deborahs efforts were for nothing.
I appreciateHacks commitment to realism here; it was always going to be Jack.
But her abandon is even more attractive to Bob than her earlier efforts were.
He likes her better mean!
Or maybe he feels freer to like her because no one is performing anymore?
(On stolen land?)
Its kind of him to credit Ava with so much of Deborahs growth.
Meanwhile, Deborah is drinking from the bottle and golfing into the night.
In my opinion, she KNEW something was going to happen the moment she left her room.
She did not put on that lingerie just to golf and drink alone.
In the morning, Ava is proud of Deborahs wild night, but Deborah is hungover and ashamed.
Andmaybethis indiscretion could help Deborah move past what happened with Cathy.
Hi, J. Smith-Cameron!
