S04E09 - The Trial of Leslie Knope

Live from Pawnee: A Parks and Recreation Fan Rewatch Podcast

This week Mark and Allen break down the Episode where Leslie and Ben officially reveal their relationship! When we last left our heroes (i.e. last episode), Leslie and Ben decided to tell Chris about their relationship. When they do so, Chris reluctantly, but stoicly, launches a full investigation and prepares an ethics trial for the two of them, with Leslie's trial first. During her opening statement at the Ethics Trial, Leslie freely admits to her relationship with Ben, but insists they never did anything else wrong or unethical. Chris, however, thinks there may be more going on, and has several witnesses lined up to seek the truth. As the trial proceeds, Leslie manages to deflect most arguments brought to trial. However, rumor has it that Chris may have a killer witness waiting in the wings ... (DRAMATIC STING) As always, we tackle the tough questions, such as ... How many herbal supplements does Chris need to take to fight off depression? What happened to the woman in the mural who exposed her elbow? How exactly does Leslie spell out the word "YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY"? Who exactly is the killer witness? What final secret does Jerry reveal during the trial? Loyal podcast viewers, this is a big one, and the stakes have never been higher. Tune in to find out what happens! Last week's PSA went so well, Chris talked Ron into (grudgingly) doing another one this week. Be sure to tell us what you think!
