This episode is so much fun. The Indiana Organization of Woman selects Ron as their Woman of the Year, an award Leslie openly covets. Ron hates awards and knows that Leslie really should be the recipient, but decides he’s going to have some fun. He brags about his award, commissions a professional photograph of himself holding the award, and just needles Leslie until she can’t take it anymore. But when he recommends Leslie to the IOW, they learn that a man was chosen for publicity purposes. The result is a side-splitting dual acceptance/rejection speech. What really makes this episode special is seeing the genuine affection Ron has for Leslie – this episode has real heart. In the b-story, Tom looks for investors in the Snakehole Lounge, and his Powerpoint pitch has to be seen to be believed.
