Recap / Archer S 4 E 5 Viscous Coupling

Go To

Archer's former fiancée calls on him to rescue her cyborg boyfriend from outer space, but he has other things on his mind.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Frame-Up: Archer loudly calls himself Cyril Figgis every time he robs an innocent gentleman to get roses and chocolate to give to Katya.
  • Geeky Turn-On: Archer convinces Krieger into "helping" Barry come back to Earth by mentioning the possibility of a cyborg vs. cyborg battle against Ray in the streets of Manhattan.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The plan to keep Barry in space goes to crap when Archer finds out that Krieger somehow managed to make a functioning ship for Barry to ride back home.
  • Quote Mine: Archer has Krieger prompt Barry to say certain phrases, which Pam then edits into a sequence that makes it sound like he's admitting to cheating on Katya. Turns out Katya knew the tape was edited and claims it was pathetically obvious. Still, Katya ends up furious with Barry for not listening to her about going to kill Archer, which ended up with him trapped at the space station.
