Oh and it gets worse. Lana states people like Archer have been taking those for awhile now, and Archer even thought that the fake chemotherapy drugs were chewable since kids can get cancer. This means that Delanely has indirectly caused the death of kids that took the fake chemo drugs!

* Burt Reynolds develops a case of ChuckCunninghamSyndrome after his first and only onscreen appearance. Malory continues to have an affair with him for a while, but he insists on keeping it on the down low. However, this makes sense in that a lot of the positive virtues that Burt insists that Malory has in "The Man from Jupiter" are only a superficial act on her part. Once he got to know her better he would have seen how much of an elitist snob, bigot and domineering mother she really was. She also tends to be all of those things in ''public'', which probably led to more than one awkward incident and his decision to only see her in private.

* In "Deadly Velvet", Ellis Crane and Veronica Deane both had murderous intent. On the surface, Deane's motive for murdering Crane is ambiguous, until you consider that she was nearly killed by the runaway forklift which was actually part of his efforts to disrupt production. Since they were both involved in the Longwater scheme, it only makes sense that Crane would have wanted her dead so as to increase his share of the take and leave one less possible conspirator who could testify if things fell apart. After all, it was a massive gamble to assume that Archer would be right next to Deane and would react quickly enough to rescue her from the forklift in time. Enraged, Deane decides to kill Crane, and isn't feeling patient enough to do so in a subtle way. So she takes Archer back to her dressing room for use as an alibi and, after they have sex, she slips out and shoots Crane in his office. From there on she's improvising. When the LAPD detectives show a dislike towards Lana, who in turn had been beating on Archer, Deane realizes that she's a perfect target to frame. Hence, she didn't ask Shapiro to plant evidence until ''after'' the murder and the argument with the police.

** When combined with attrition (often because Sterling tends to get fellow agents killed) it makes sense that Malory ultimately had to cut a secret deal with the CIA, since ISIS was insolvent and without the resources to replace her shrinking staff they could not continue to take on enough assignments to bring in revenue to halt the downward spiral. By season four the entire agency seemed only able to handle one mission at a time, and that required using Cyril and Pam as field agents multiple times.

** The whole place is a case of IncompetenceInc because Malory is a BadBoss who pays the lowest possible wages she can get away with, diverting any money she saves to supporting her and Sterling's lavish lifestyles. Thus she cannot hire or retain top talent since any such people tend to get snapped up by other agencies, particularly ODIN, that pay better.

* Lana strongly exhibits the AllGirlsWantBadBoys trope, hence her fixation with Archer despite the fact that the majority of his personality traits annoy her. In conceiving a child she chooses to use his sperm rather than the BoringButPractical Cyril, who would at least be a more responsible father. But this is pretty obviously a case of TheBabyTrap, as she not only uses Archer's sperm because of his admittedly impressive physical attributes, but also because she can capitalize on it to get more of his attention. Once they get back together she even outright states that this time he is more focused on ''her'' (not A.J.). Flashing back to TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that Cheryl slammed her with, which set all of this motion, Lana is clearly trying to forcibly escape from being MarriedToTheJob by both having a child in her life ''and'' compelling the man she is most attracted to to focus more attention on her.
