It's the most poorly written episode of the series.

The events that transpired are hinged off of contrived circumstances, and Lincoln was way beyond stupid here. It was his worst episode as far as characterization goes, and it's a major reason why I don't share the "woe is Lincoln" mentality. The other reason is that while he's inconvenienced, much like "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House" or "The Sweet Spot", the brawling and fighting isn't really focused on Lincoln. He only really puts himself in the crossfires by getting involved in the worst way possible.

So, yeah, nooooooot a good episode. Like, at all. A few chuckles here and there, but it's still a Top 5 Worst pick without a shadow of a doubt.
