While both Tammys are in the drinking competition for the long haul, Leslie is put out of commission after just a little bit of the Swanson family moonshine. Leslie, not wanting to lose her spiritual mentor and boss, has no choice but to enter the drink-off herself. She decides to settle Ron’s future by challenging Tammy 1 to see who can drink more of the Swanson family mash liquor, holding up a homemade jug of booze that April says “smells like jet fuel.” Tammy 0 reveals that, if she wins, Ron will have to return to the family farm with her. Tammy 0 (played by former SNL head writer Paula Pell, who is right around Nick Offerman’s age but wears quite a bit of makeup for this role) is exactly the kind of gun-toting lunatic you’d expect to be Ron Swanson’s mother. Andy comes up with the brilliant idea of bringing in Tammy 0: Ron Swanson’s mother. As Leslie puts it, “In order to beat Mothra, we need Godzilla.” They quickly realize that even Tammy 2 is powerless to Tammy 1, who was also her Sunday school teacher. To win Ron back from Tammy 1, Leslie and company turn to his other ex, Tammy 2. The strange, clean-cut geek Ron becomes when he’s under Tammy 1’s spell is a version of him we haven’t seen yet on the show, and it was a delight seeing Nick Offerman sink his teeth into a new shade of Ron. In barely any time at all, she moves in with Ron, convinces him to add her onto his bank account, and worst of all, makes him shave off his trademark moustache. She made up the audit completely and has used it as an excuse to plant herself back in Ron’s life. They quickly find, though, that Ron’s Tammy 1 problem extends far beyond the audit. Luckily, he has Leslie, April, and Andy to rescue him from being incarcerated for sticking to his anti-bureaucratic beliefs. For someone full of Libertarian ideals like Ron Swanson, this is his worst nightmare. The reason Tammy is back in Ron’s orbit is that she’s with the IRS and he’s being audited. Tammy 1 has been an authority figure to Ron Swanson throughout his entire life. She was the candy striper who helped deliver him, but she also served as his Sunday school teacher, his middle school math teacher, and his driver’s ed teacher. In her second appearance as Ron’s ex-wife, Tammy 1, Patricia Clarkson fills her role well in an episode that offers up the biggest look at this character we’ve gotten yet (as well as the most extensive account of Ron Swanson’s past so far). Going off past episodes with Megan Mullally’s Tammy 2 turning Ron into an id-indulging deviant, I was prepared to see Ron hit some new lows in last night’s show, but nothing prepared me for the polite, moustache-less nerd Tammy 1 causes him to morph into. Two years later, we finally got to meet the last of the important Tammys in Ron’s life. I Love Games That Turn People Against Each Other.Early in Parks and Rec’s run, when it was revealed that Tammy was the name of both of Ron Swanson’s ex-wives and also his mother, it created more questions than answers. Let's find out if you can score 100% correct!ġ. This quiz contains 12 quotes by either April or Ron, and all you need to do is identify them all. The question is, do you know as much about the pair as they know about each other? Ron saw the potential in April, and she knew exactly what he needed from an assistant. She began filling in for Leslie and eventually went to work for Chris and also Ben, which would then lead April down a path that would see her work for an organisation that helped people find their dream jobs. The trouble for April was she became so good at her job, others started to notice. With the exception of scheduling all Ron's appointments on one day, April's skills made her perfect for her job. Ron knew that, behind her front of not caring, there was someone who was diligent and loyal.Īpril's confidence and dislike of people in general meant she had no problem turning away any potential face-to-face meetings that might come Ron's way. April Ludgate was cool, weird and didn't care what anyone thought of her. In Parks and Recreation, Ron Swanson spotted the ideal person to be his assistant.
