I have to agree on the dialogue. The feeling I get is that a Fox exec is putting notes like "Sexier!" and "Make it more fun!" in the margins.

I think this episode worked so well in part because it was not the Echo show. If most of the episodes from here on out aren't centered on Eliza's personality of the week I think the show could see a second season.
