Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
The Muppets continued to straddle the line between off-putting and amusing this week with "Bear Left Then Bear Write," in which Kermit's lie caused Fozzie to quit the show and seek a writer's life of solitude in the woods. An endeavor that ended with Fozzie swallowing a bug, losing his tent, and then getting knocked out by a tranquilizer gun. Overall, it was standard sitcom stuff. The age old premise of best friends wrongly sparing each others' feelings as it pertains to talent, or lack thereof. Though I will say that loopy, drugged Fozzie was pretty funny.
