Disgusted with the direction of the show thus far, studio head B.S. Hollinsfoffer demands a quality improvement for season five of ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'' or else the show will be cancelled. Executive producer Robert Tapert calls the show's staff and star Kevin Sorbo to a corporate retreat to think up some fresh ideas for the new season. But it isn't long before someone is planning to take them out of the picture for good.
!!Tropes for this episode:
* CatchPhrase: Kevin insists he's "just an actor" whenever he finishes with an idea.
* DrivingADesk: The scene where Kevin is driving to the retreat.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: This line between the murderer at the end.
-->'''Murderer''': You haven't seen the last of me! [[spoiler:Wherever there's television, there'll always be B.S.!]]\\
'''Kevin''': He's got that right.
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: [[spoiler:Ares indulges himself when telling Hollinsfoffer he'll never work in this town again.]]
* InnerMonologue: We get a brief look into each of the staff's thoughts after the sauna. They're most irrelevant.
* IrisOut: How the episode ends.
* LatexPerfection: The murder disguises themselves themselves with one of these. To add to the parody aspect, the second the mask is pulled off, their body goes from the skinnier frame of their disguise to their more rotund regular look.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: [[spoiler:The murderer first attempted to get the show's staff to kill themselves using their natural toxicity to each other. He was forced to more direct methods once Kevin started providing quality ideas.]]

* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler:The show staff is shocked to discover that Ares is real. They then wonder if that means there's a real Hercules and all eyes turn to Kevin...]]
* SaunaOfDeath: One of the murder methods attempted. Kevin foils it by busting the door down.
* SelfDeprecation: Even more so than last time.
** The episode in question that convinces Hollinsfoffer to increase quality control is "One Fowl Day", the episode with a giant chicken.
** Apparently, Kevin doesn't get merchandising rights for his own show.
** [[spoiler:Ares]] banters with Kevin about how cheesy and fake the blue screen effects are during the DrivingADesk scene.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the planned ideas for killing Iolaus is "[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Acme]] style" with a cartoon weight.
** The unmasking of the murder is a clear ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' reference, completing with the "YouMeddlingKids" line.
* TrustBuildingBlunder: Robert is subjected to the "fall backwards and get caught" variant when his crew refuses to do so. Then Paul steals his wallet.
