The thumbnail premise of this episode--Dial Tone being discharged from the Joes for his performance--has a ton of possibilities. Pathos. Perseverance. Redemption. None of these are included here, however.
What follows instead is an extremely convoluted story that undermines all of that with ham-fisted plot mechanics and a reveal that's absurd even by G. I. Joe standards. Look, I'm not expecting, or even wanting, sophisticated storytelling, but the goofiness on display here takes the taco,
Dial Tone isn't exactly an A-list Joe, and this episode is an example of why they should have just left him on the bench,
