S03E07 - Harvest Festival - Part 2 with Jay Jackson

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast

This week, Mark and Allen finish breaking down the Episode that concludes the Season 3 story arc involving the Harvest Festival! When we last left our heroes, Leslie was trying her best to put on a wildly successful Harvest Festival, despite Wamapoke tribe leader Ken Hotate suggesting the presence of a curse, and journalist Joan Callamezzo looking for a scandal. To make things worse, Little Sebastian has gone missing! The gang assembles search parties, but has no luck on the ground, so they use the ferris wheel to get a bird's eye view. To contain the chaos, Leslie gives a press conference, and seems to be doing okay, when all of a sudden... the lights go out, machines shut down, the ferris wheel stops. Dogs and cats, living together... MASS HYSTERIA!!! Meanwhile, April took a chance and told Andy she loves him. His response is "Dude, shut up! That is awesome sauce!" April is mortified and humiliated, continuing to snipe angrily at Andy throughout the day, with Andy continuing to be clueless. April even goes so far as to threaten to leave for Venezuela... FOREVER! They show no signs of making up, and things are now even worse with them trapped on the ferris wheel together! Finally, Ann is working the First Aid with Donna, and admits she is not taking her break-up with Chris well, kind of bottoming out. A little later, a Jersey Shore wannabe comes to the first aid tent for dehydration, shamelessly hitting on Ann. When Ann turns him down, Donna suggests Ann follow the advice Grammy Meagle gave her: use him, abuse him, lose him... but Ann doesn't seem sure. We seek out the answers we know you all want, to questions such as ... Does the Harvest Festival turn out to be a failure? Is this the end of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department? Can April and Andy make up, or will this be it for them, perhaps sending April back into the arms of Venezuelian Jhonny? Will Ann take Grammy Meagle's advice, or will she continue to spend hundreds of dollars on candles from Anthropologie? Join us, true believers, for the second half of this mega block-buster episode, and see how it all ends! Once again, many thanks to our PAID sponsor: Reel Life Candles!
