"A Going Concern" is the second episode of the second season of Archer. The story follows up "Dial M for Mother", the season one finale.

Plot summary Edit

After Malory is wiped out in a Ponzi scheme, she hatches a scheme of her own: selling ISIS - lock, stock and snack machines - to archrival spy agency ODIN. Archer and the rest of the ISIS employees, rightfully fearing for their jobs, must use every trick in the book (ISIS Field Manual, 3rd Edition) to try to stop the sale.

Trivia Edit

• Modified Ludovico is a reference to A Clockwork Orange, and it shows Len Trexler several disturbing images.
• Archer refers to Len Trexler as "Lennie" when he says "Can we give Lennie the rabbit", which is referencing the John Steinbeck novel, Of Mice and Men. Trexler develops a bond with the rabbit reminiscent of that in the story. Archer will later make this reference several times, for instance to get Lana Kane to give Seamus back to Trinette in "Blood Test."
• A bit of continuity comes up when Archer's microchip is removed from his brain. In Dial M for Mother, the chip was implanted on the left side of his forehead. In this episode, the chip is removed from the right side.
• An animation error occurs when the ODIN agent raising his submachine gun peers into the barrel.  As he raises it, the back end of the gun is cut off by the background.
