Coming hot on the trail of "Double or Nothing" is another episode about the dangers of gambling. This one at least makes more sense, versus the vague waffling about selling one's future/soul/love/life or whatever was going on in the Gunn-centric episode.
Speaking of Gunn, he's being quite unlikable lately. First he gets all self-righteous about Wesley doing the wrong thing (kidnapping Connor) for the right reasons, and now, ever since Lorne left for Vegas, Gunn keeps grumbling about how he "abandoned them" and "lost the mission". Fred joins in because she's a lap dog. Maybe they both have a selective memory about how poorly Lorne was treated by everybody when he was there helping. And Gunn, remember how your divided loyalties resulted in Caritas getting shot up? And yet everybody forgave you anyway? Probably don't have the moral high ground here.
Next to giving Lorne more screen time than he's had recently, the best part of the episode is getting Fred into a campy showgirl outfit (painted green, with horns like cat ears) to go undercover. It's such a not-Fred thing to do it becomes awkwardly endearing. Yet as the episode progresses, she somehow finds time to wipe off the green paint, but keeps on the skimpy outfit. Maybe she finds it weirdly empowering in a "stays-in-Vegas" kind of way?
