Against her other agents' wishes, Malory promotes Cyril to field agent and sends him with Archer and Lana to capture a drug lord, where they find out he might actually have a talent for it. Back at the office, Malory institutes a strict drug testing policy for her employees, forcing Pam, Cheryl, and Ray to use Dr. Krieger's purifying herbal tea to beat it.
This episode provides examples of:
- Adventurer Outfit: Cyril dons the safari version, which contrasts with Archer and Lana's modern black tactical gear. Archer takes every opportunity to make fun of him it.
- All for Nothing: Despite capturing the drug lord and delivering him to the DEA, the agents find out they won't get paid because they provided no proof of said capture, nor were they given a receipt from them.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Calzado keeps a bunch of exotic animals locked in cages with poor living conditions. He points out that the animals are not his pets, and he hunts them for sport. To prove his point, he casually shoots a Bengal tiger in the face multiple times with his gun. Archer and Lana are both appalled by this.
- Break the Haughty: When Cyril gets a little big-headed about his field agent skills, Lana brings him back to reality by letting Calzado beat his ass. She then steps in before he can finish off Cyril.
- Cutting Back to Reality: Krieger watching with amusement as Cheryl, Pam and Ray trip balls via Mushroom Samba and scream at each other.
- Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Comes up, with Archer and Lana being hunted by a South American drug lord and... Cyril (long story). Archer, being who he is, hears the phrase "The Most Dangerous Game" and replies "Jai-Alai?".
- Mushroom Samba: Not long after taking the "herbal tea" to flush out any drugs taken, Ray appears to turn into a Decepticon, Pam melts, and Cheryl finds that the floor has become molten lava.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Archer is so distraught from witnessing Calzado shoot a Bengal tiger dead that he has no interest in having sex with Lana.Lana: Well, go ahead and say it.Archer: Say what?Lana: How since we're gonna die in the morning we should have sex now.Archer: After seeing a tiger get murdered, Lana? No offense but I'm not really in the mood. (beat) I mean if you want, I could watch while you masturbate but I'll tell you right now my heart's not gonna be in it... it will be with that tiger's family.
- Schmuck Bait: Archer falls for a trap when he finds a bottle of alcohol in the middle of the jungle.
