Loved the bit with Fiona and the stun gun.
Does Mom ever not have a cigarette in hand? Kind of odd these days to see a character smoking so much.

As for the smoking, I actually know people whose parents are like that...and quite similar to the character in attitude and behavior. It's the type of woman who is carrying one of those 2-pack leather cigarette holders with the lighter holster on the side and the raspy voice, either widowed or divorced, and constantly trying to broker peace between their children. Maybe it's just me, but it's all too familiar.

I actually felt a little sorry for the Russian thug by the end. He put his total trust into his comrade, only to be betrayed. It was funny when he was trying to warn the big boss, and he slowly realized that Sergei was a fake.

Really enjoyed the episode as well. I loved how Michael gained his confidence by being an untrusting asshole. The whole, "not fighting like an American but using Russian Martial Arts" bit was totally badass.
Loved Sam's secondary storyline, especially when the badge came out.
Fee's a firecracker, as always.
...and yes, I did feel a little bad for the Russian at the end, heh.

Did anybody else think they were being a little more obvious with the character titles on this episode? They were cracking me up for some reason a lot more than usual.

Loved Sam aka "Daddy" in this episode.

I think that the yogurt and beer in the fridge is basically a running joke of the show.
Sam always goes to the fridge for beer.
Fi always goes to the fridge for yogurt.
And then the twist this time was Sam wanted something cold to put against his head for his hangover and so he grabs a container of yogurt.
