Lead Balloon Season 2 Episode 7 Rita

In Lead Balloon season 2 episode 7 titled "Rita," viewers are introduced to Rita, a new nanny who has been hired by Mel, Rick's wife. Rick, on the other hand, is not particularly thrilled about the new addition to their household, especially since he feels like Rita is trying to take over his role as a parent.

Despite Rick's misgivings, Rita settles in quickly and seems to be doing an excellent job of looking after the kids. However, as the episode progresses, Rick begins to notice some odd behaviors in Rita. For instance, he catches her secretly smoking in the kitchen and finds out that she has been secretly feeding the children junk food. He also begins to suspect that Rita is trying to poison him with her cooking, but he can't seem to find any concrete evidence.

Things come to a head when Rick's new comedy pilot is greenlit, but he's too nervous to attend the celebratory party. Instead, Mel suggests that Rita could go in his place. Rick begrudgingly agrees, but later regrets his decision when he discovers that Rita has been regaling the partygoers with stories about his embarrassing moments.

Despite all of this, Rick tries to give Rita the benefit of the doubt and decides to confront her about the smoking, junk food, and poisoning suspicions. However, things take an unexpected turn when Rita reveals that she's actually an undercover journalist who is writing an exposé on the life of a comedian. She tells Rick that she's been doing research on him for months and that she has enough material to ruin his career.

Despite the looming threat of the exposé, Rick decides to take matters into his own hands. He hatches a plan to use Rita's own tactics against her by pretending to befriend her and gathering information that could potentially ruin her career as a journalist. In the end, it turns out that Rick's plan works, and he's ultimately able to get the upper hand on Rita.

Overall, "Rita" is an entertaining episode of Lead Balloon that showcases the show's signature dark humor and biting satire. It's a must-see for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys watching humorous takes on the world of comedy and entertainment.
