One of my favourite. Probably the best dramatic episodes. (And followed by one of my favourite comedy episodes! BEST INTENTIONS!!)

Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."

It's hard to separate parts one and two and I usually include both as my "favorite episode"... but given the choice part 1 was better than 2 I think. Part 2 was good, but it felt thrown together to conclude the great part 1.

Part 1 was actually was made just in case actor Hal Smith passed away. But they decided to use it anyway. Part 2 does sound it was thrown together.
