Hank’s pride and joy—his lawn—meets its toughest challenge yet. Between Khan’s smug digs, Dale’s sabotage, and Bobby’s strange new fascination with fire ants, “King of the Ant Hill” turns a simple yard into a battlefield.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Dale’s self-worth being tied to his exterminator gig—and how far he’ll go when Hank undercuts him
• Bobby’s ant “mind control” subplot (and whether it’s magic or just Bobby being Bobby)
• Peggy’s Cinco de Mayo Spanish flubs and the return of Buckley
• Deleted scenes with Hank’s shoes/socks in the muck
• The Silence of the Lambs spoof in Dale’s basement and whether it’s his darkest moment yet
• Why Bill, Boomhauer, and even Khan piling on Hank feels so harsh
• Dale’s redemption-by-sacrifice when he saves Bobby from the ants

It’s a gross one—sugar foam, Hank’s bare feet, ants everywhere—but also a standout for how much it develops Dale, Peggy, Bobby, and even Hank’s relationship to his lawn.
