Probably not the best episode, a bit silly, but entertaining watching the actors in different roles and Ben was so funny and cute.

Warning: Spoilers
Ben, Julie, Michelle, Conrad, and Bob go on a retreat vacation along with many other colleagues Julie knows, on a charity vacation bid Julie won at some dude ranch place. Their bus breaks down in an abandoned old west town. Ben gets hit in the head by a wooden plank and has a dream/nightmare of being in the old west where a murder takes place.

This seems like it was a fun gift for the actors. They really seemed to enjoy themselves here. Conrad is the old-west gunslinger type. Michelle is a sexy siren prostitute. Julie owns a hotel bed/breakfast type of place. Bob is the town's drunk. Lol. All the elements and character types are very stereotypical of old-west books and film yarns. The murder mystery wasn't that interesting. Conrad was the accused and Ben defended him.

The best part, again, as usual with this show, is Ben. He's very funny. On the bus, he is cranky and admits to being afraid of horses. Ben had me in tears because it was so darn funny watching him try and mount a horse. Then it was so cute seeing how he actually did it. And when he did ride the horse, omg, hysterical! His interaction with Michelle was pretty funny too as she was coming on to him.

Anyway, not the best episode given it was not "real" and just a dream. A little bit silly. The mystery wasn't really interesting. But it was fun seeing all the regulars play different types of characters in the old west. I'm glad Bob was included in this. Ben was the best thing. He was so funny and cute. 7/10.
