A little late, but I will have to say that I really liked this episode. Namely I am a little wary when it comes to episodes centered around Lynn because she is not necesarily one of my favorite of the siblings, but here, I thought it was a pretty good episode. In it, there's an upcoming championship game regarding basketball, so Lynn hopes to win this game, so that she could add basketball to her system FLIBBR (Football, Lacrosse, Ice hockey, baseball, basketball, and Roller hockey). There are some openings to some teams, but unfortunately for Lynn, she gets situated under the Turkey Jerkies, the worst basketball team by far. As you would've guessed, Lynn does not take that well. In short, she tries a few strategies in order to win, but at first it's at the cost of her team not participating in the game. When the other teams catch onto her strategy, Lynn tries to get two new teammates (which leads to a funny moment of Flip actually moving the sign for Royal Woods when they had traveled to Beaverton). And Lynn gets a taste of her own medicine when those two new additions hog the game. The best part about the episode is of course Lynn realizing that she was doing the same thing to her teammates, and she swallows her pride and allows them to play even if it were to cost her winning the championship.

Other than that, I can't think of anything bad to say about this episode. I found several aspects of the episode funny such as how one of the Turkey Jerkies was constantly fell asleep, which is problematic because she could accidentally find herself dosing off in the gym, or there was Pep. I feel I can really relate to him. If anything, I guess my only gripe is that Lynn's realization was somewhat a little too fast, but I guess it has to do with the runtime of the episode. Other than that, it was a really good Lynn episode. Probably a little higher than "Lynner Takes All."

Final score:

4.5 stars out of 5
