Visually unique to this episode, it comprises two frames: a circular inner frame holds the main story, while the outer margins carry small creatures. The writers likened the story to revisiting a former high school peer who was, at the time, unnoticeable. Originally aired on March 3, 2014, this broadcast was seen by more than one million viewers. Writers of entertainment-related publications praised the episode for its depth of mood and visuals. The New Yorker critic Emily Nussbaum, in particular, saw it as establishing Lumpy's intricacy as a character, and Eric Kohn in IndieWire called the episode the pièce de résistance of the show.
