Ep 3. The Man From Jupiter

In Archer season 6 episode 3 titled "The Man From Jupiter," Sterling Archer is surprised to find out that his hero, a former astronaut named Commander Drake (voiced by guest star Fred Armisen), is engaged to his mother, Malory Archer. Commander Drake is known for being the first man to land on Jupiter, and Archer is excited at the opportunity to meet him. However, the meeting does not go as planned.

Archer is immediately put off by Commander Drake, who turns out to be a boisterous, larger-than-life personality that clashes with Archer's sarcastic attitude. The two begin to feud almost immediately, with Commander Drake constantly bragging about his accomplishments and Archer making snarky comments at every opportunity.

This tension comes to a head when they both attend a charity fundraiser together. Commander Drake's over-the-top antics draw attention away from the actual cause, and Archer becomes fed up with his behavior. He decides to publicly confront Commander Drake, leading to a physical altercation that shocks everyone in attendance.

Meanwhile, the rest of the ISIS team is dealing with their own issues. Cyril is struggling to keep up with Pam's superior physical abilities during a training exercise, and Krieger accidentally creates a hallucinogenic drug that causes chaos in the office.

As the episode progresses, Archer continues to spar with Commander Drake, eventually leading to a bet that involves both men trying to seduce the same woman. This challenge leads to a hilarious sequence of events that involves Archer trying to impress the woman with his knowledge of trivia and Commander Drake attempting to create a romantic atmosphere by serenading her with a guitar.

Overall, "The Man From Jupiter" is a hilarious episode that highlights the absurdity of Archer's world while also delving into some deeper themes. The clash between Archer and Commander Drake allows the show to explore issues of hero worship, masculinity, and the fleeting nature of fame. At the same time, the subplots involving Pam, Cyril, and Krieger provide a perfect balance of absurd humor and character development.
