“The on-again, off-again relationship of Archer and Slater causes a rift in the on- again, off-again relationship of Archer and Lana.”

Written by Adam Reed

DEN OF GEEK: We return to Slater in this episode! He was a pretty crucial part of not only last season, but also season five, too. Why did you want to revisit that relationship?

ADAM REED: We are absolutely bonkers for Christian Slater. He is so great at his job, and at being an exceptionally nice person.

He even functions as a nice reminder of how much the show has transformed over the past few years. Was bringing that comparison front and center part of the idea here, too?
