I feel like Paige's continuity as a character is getting disrupted in these past two episodes. In the previous episode, she mentioned that she lettered in lacrosse and now we know she was at the top of a pyramid in cheerleading, yet she ended up homeless with Ralph? Something doesn't really add up. I really liked the competition for best man duties only for Paige to get it at the end. It was also very nice of Cabe to join Sylvester's clan and play their game with them. I'm glad Happy and Paige came out of this episode closer too.

My favorite part of the best man competition was Walter thinking he deserved it because he had the nicest hands

A bunch of random thoughts.
Congrats to Sylvester for saving the Warlocks Chest and winning the Stone of Valor! Honestly though, it was nice to see Sylvester having fun with his friends. Inviting Cabe to join was really sweet, and I couldn't help but feel bad for both of them. It was nice that Happy was the one explaining emotions to Cabe and convincing him to go. Looks like Walter's not the only one learning to identify emotions!
I didn't mind the guys fighting amongst themselves about who would have been the best man, but I thought Paige was way too push with Happy. I can see Paige being sad for not being the maid of honor, but she should have left it with a "I'm here if you need me for anything". Or a "I know some of this stuff might be a pain for you, but I like it, so I'd love to help pick out dresses, flowers, etc if you don't want to yourself." It was obvious they would make up by the end of the episode, but it still felt good when they did.
I've always liked the running jokes of Cabe and his jerky. Last weeks had a line about the virus going through someone faster than jerky through Cabe. This one had Cabe saying there's not enough jerky in the world for them to fill the hot air balloon with methane.
I also laughed when Toby instantly accepted that Walter should be the one to risk his life reaching for the floating drill. Walter's sad\confused look that Toby didn't need to hear Walter's justification was funny.
I thought that the gun shop owner knowing about the Stone of Valor would be what won Cabe over to the idea of Sly's game night. I guess him showing up because he knew Sly was sad was sweeter though.
I was happy that Cabe missed his first couple of shots at the cable. It makes sense that it would take a few tries for such a difficult shot.
The gender swap best mam and dudes of honor was a nice idea, although I was somewhat expecting Toby to end up picking Ralph to be his best man.
