Cons:
It is weird scheduling-wise that this isn't the Halloween episode, though. I feel like they deployed that one a week too early for some reason.
The subplot with Bob's mustache shenanigans didn't really do much for me, to be honest. I was expecting wackier shenanigans, maybe Bob having some sort of identity crisis as he doesn't know who he is when his mustache looks so different. Or just wilder designs as the modeling continued. There was nothing wrong here, but it didn't really get a chuckle out of me either.
Pros:
Tina's hall monitor adventures delighted me to no end. First she gets fired for being too much of a tyrant, and then with Gene and Louise's help, she discovers a whole conspiracy of corruption amongst the other monitors. She gets proof of this corruption on camera, and leverages it to get her old job back, somewhat to Frond's dismay.
Several things to love about this one: I love when Tina is so intense about things that even weirdo Frond is like "this is too much" and wants to push Tina away so he doesn't have to deal with her. Tina can get really fixated and takes her responsibilities seriously to the point of ridiculousness.
I also love it when Louise and Gene show up to help scheme for their big sis. Louise of course is the one who suspects a bigger conspiracy is afoot, and when it comes to getting into shenanigans, you can always depend on her. At the same time, Louise's own sense of justice comes into play here: she doesn't want anybody to mess with Tina on her watch, and I love to see that.
I do kind of like the argument that boys are going to run and cause chaos in the halls anyway, so why not make a little something on the side to turn a blind eye? Tina's sense of honor would never allow for such a thing, but it's fun to see the alternative perspective explored in a situation where the stakes are truly so low.
8/10
