When Wet Hot American Summer, the kitschy cult comedy about the last day at a Jewish summer camp, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival over ten years ago, the film's multitude of stars were nothing but improv students and writers trying to make it in industry. By now, nearly every actor in the film has a booming career, with hit TV shows, blockbuster movies and trapper keepers full of appointments.

When they put their minds to it, Leslie and Ben really know how to break our hearts.

Despite their totally different philosophies, Ron and Leslie are known more for their ability to work well together than petty squabbling. Yet this episode showed the pair at-odds over local boys’ and girls’ clubs. While we saw a moment of true vulnerability from Ron, it was a competition which both seemingly won in the end. Also winners in this episode? Tom and Donna, whose excellent holiday (Treat Yo Self), should be adopted by our nation as soon as possible.
