Just caught this episode, and what did I think?
It's a good episode, but nothing spectacular. It has a fair number of jokes, but other episodes definitely have more humor going for them. It has an interesting story, though it does take a little longer to get started, and I feel the middle needed a little more substance. The highlight is probably the Shalmon's story, which is pretty entertaining. It's a good episode, and I would definitely watch it again, but it is probably one of 9b's weaker entries, maybe right above "Mall Girl Pearl" and "Sanctuary!"
SCORE: 7/10
