In season 4, episode 6 of Archer, titled Once Bitten, the audience is taken on a wild ride alongside the show's lead character, Sterling Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin).
It all starts with Archer's ex-girlfriend, Katya Kazanova, appearing at his doorstep claiming she needs his help. Katya, a KGB agent with bionic body parts, explains that she has been bitten by a venomous snake and needs an antidote, which is located inside the heavily guarded headquarters of the Worldwide Wildlife Conservation Society (WWCS).
Archer agrees to help and assembles his team, which includes his mother Malory Archer (voiced by Jessica Walter), his ex-girlfriend Lana Kane (voiced by Aisha Tyler), and his coworkers Cyril Figgis (voiced by Chris Parnell) and Pam Poovey (voiced by Amber Nash). The group sets out to infiltrate the WWCS headquarters, but things quickly take a turn for the worse when they discover that the WWCS is actually a front for a secret animal testing facility.
As the team tries to find the antidote and save Katya, they are faced with a multitude of obstacles and challenges, including armed guards, deadly animals, and malfunctioning bionic enhancements. Along the way, the group must also navigate their own interpersonal relationships and conflicts, adding an extra layer of tension to an already high-stakes situation.
As always, the episode is filled with the show's signature blend of humor, action, and irreverence. Fans of the show will appreciate the continued development of the characters and their relationships, as well as the nods to the show's past and inside jokes that have become a staple of the series.
Overall, Once Bitten is a standout episode in an already impressive season, offering a compelling storyline, memorable laughs, and satisfying character development.
