This was a solid episode with a very inventive premise that paid off really well. The whole group fighting over the Lord of the Rings ring led to some of the funniest moments of the season, especially when they all end up clasping a part of it in a desperate attempt to claim ownership.

The physical comedy, escalating obsession, and how it strained their friendship was hilarious without going too far. The ending was worth it too, with a clever twist that tied everything together nicely and left a smile.

8/10: It's one of the more memorable and funny episodes this season.
