📍 ARC CONTEXT
Sitting at episode 197 of 694, this is firmly in the show's early-to-mid stretch where standalone adventures dominate and the series is still building its deep library of character dynamics. It functions as a self-contained comedic outing with no direct tie to a larger arc, offering a lighthearted palate cleanser between episodes. The focus on group camaraderie here reinforces the friendship bonds that carry the series across its massive run.
