Spoiler That was...there. Not too good, not too bad.
At this point, I'm pretty much completely numb to the entire "women trying to succeed in male-dominated field by acting like complete assholes to anything with a dick" schtick. Glad Lisa openly defied that last part in the end, though. She was actually pretty solid throughout the episode, and Conrad was quite charming.
Homer becoming a dishwasher was an odd turn, but the Greekified Homer got a few chuckles out of me.

Spoiler Mostly the same as Stretch. It was kinda just there really.
I'm kinda tired of these kinds of plots too, though for different reasons (the 'everyone ever is suddenly misogynistic even when it doesn't really make sense' thing. Seriously, Martin's even girlier than Lisa. And do agree on Conrad but seeing as it's Stephen Merchant, the charm is kind of a given. Also wankers is a funny word.

And now I've caught upon my 8 episode backlog :p
Spoiler This one tried very hard to make an actual point about sexism in coding and then it took a wide 'v' into sentient Tech for some reason, so I was super disappointed with the show's choice to not say anything interesting or pertinent about the topic. I didn't really feel anything for Lisa's living AI so this is was a bit of a struggle for me. But it could have been worse and I really liked Homer and Marge's subplot and Homer's becoming a part of the close-knit enclave of butchers.
