It originally aired on <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> in the United States on May 12, 2011. In the episode, <a href="/wiki/Leslie_Knope" title="Leslie Knope">Leslie</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ben_Wyatt_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation)">Ben</a> are sent on a road trip together and struggle to keep their romantic feelings for each other at bay due to a policy that forbids office romances. Meanwhile, a <i><a href="/wiki/The_Newlywed_Game" title="The Newlywed Game">Newlywed Game</a></i>-style game show hosted by <a href="/wiki/Tom_Haverford" title="Tom Haverford">Tom</a> leads to a fight between <a href="/wiki/Andy_Dwyer" title="Andy Dwyer">Andy</a> and <a href="/wiki/April_Ludgate" title="April Ludgate">April</a>. </p><p>Written by <a href="/wiki/Harris_Wittels" title="Harris Wittels">Harris Wittels</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Troy_Miller_(film_producer)" title="Troy Miller (film producer)">Troy Miller</a>, "Road Trip" originally aired back-to-back along with "<a href="/wiki/The_Fight_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="The Fight (Parks and Recreation)">The Fight</a>". The two are stand-alone episodes not originally meant to run together, but because the third season premiered late, they had to be shown together so the series' season would conclude by the end of the television season. "Road Trip" marked the beginning of a romantic relationship between Leslie and Ben, which culminated a growing development between the two characters that began when Ben was first introduced at the end of the <a href="/wiki/Parks_and_Recreation_season_2" title="Parks and Recreation season 2">second season</a>. </p><p>The episode featured several appearances by recurring guest stars, including Jay Jackson as <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Perd_Hapley" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Perd Hapley</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kirk_Fox" title="Kirk Fox">Kirk Fox</a> as <a href="/wiki/List_of_Parks_and_Recreation_characters#Joe_Fantringham" title="List of Parks and Recreation characters">Joe</a> and Mark Rivers, Andrew Burlinson and <a href="/wiki/Alan_Yang" title="Alan Yang">Alan Yang</a> as the members of Andy's band, Mouse Rat. "Road Trip" received generally positive reviews and, according to <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">Nielsen Media Research</a>, was seen by an estimated 3.5 million household viewers, a drop from both "The Fight" and the previous original episode, "<a href="/wiki/Eagleton_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="Eagleton (Parks and Recreation)">Eagleton</a>". </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Road_Trip_(Parks_and_Recreation)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Leslie_Knope" title="Leslie Knope">Leslie</a> still harbors strong romantic feelings for <a href="/wiki/Ben_Wyatt_(Parks_and_Recreation)" title="Ben Wyatt (Parks and Recreation)">Ben</a>, but cannot date him due to <a href="/wiki/Chris_Traeger" title="Chris Traeger">Chris'</a> strict policy against workplace dating. Just as <a href="/wiki/Ann_Perkins" title="Ann Perkins">Ann</a> suggests to Leslie that she should avoid being alone with Ben, Chris asks Leslie and Ben to drive to <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis" title="Indianapolis">Indianapolis</a> to pitch Pawnee as the next host of the Indiana Little League Baseball tournament. Leslie and Ann devise numerous boring conversation topics for the trip to prevent it from becoming romantic. After an awkward drive to Indianapolis, Leslie and Ben speak before the Little League Commission, which seems reluctant to choose Pawnee for the tournament. Ben delivers a heartfelt speech about the town, but also appears to be secretly speaking about his feelings for Leslie. </p><p>The speech clearly impresses both the judges and Leslie, and Pawnee is ultimately selected for the tournament. Leslie reluctantly accepts Ben's invitation to a celebratory dinner that night, where Ben brings up his feelings for her. She slips away to call Ann for advice, and Ann urges Leslie to act on her feelings. Just as Leslie decides to do so, she is surprised to find Chris has arrived at the dinner to congratulate the two personally. He insists they sleep at his home in Indianapolis, ruining their night. </p><p>The next day, Leslie and Ben run into each other alone and Ben reveals Chris is out for the day. Ben then immediately kisses her, to which Leslie reciprocates, leaving her simultaneously delighted and nervous about their future. </p><p>Meanwhile, <a href="/wiki/Tom_Haverford" title="Tom Haverford">Tom</a> asks <a href="/wiki/Andy_Dwyer" title="Andy Dwyer">Andy</a>, <a href="/wiki/April_Ludgate" title="April Ludgate">April</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Gergich" title="Jerry Gergich">Jerry</a> and <a href="/wiki/Donna_Meagle" title="Donna Meagle">Donna</a> to participate in a new game show called <i>Know Ya Boo</i>, that he is hoping to pitch to networks; he admits that it is a rip-off of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Newlywed_Game" title="The Newlywed Game">The Newlywed Game</a></i>. It quickly becomes clear that Jerry and Donna know much more about each other than the recently married Andy and April. When April reveals her favorite band is <a href="/wiki/Neutral_Milk_Hotel" title="Neutral Milk Hotel">Neutral Milk Hotel</a> and not Andy's band Mouse Rat, Andy angrily leaves the game. Later he and April have a big fight which causes him to quit his music. April seeks advice from Ann because, although she dislikes her, Ann previously dated Andy for several years. Ann tells April she has to be supportive of Andy no matter how she feels. The next day, April brings the other members of Mouse Rat to city hall and surprises Andy by singing one of his songs. A thrilled Andy reconciles with April. </p><p>In a separate subplot, a young girl named Lauren asks to interview <a href="/wiki/Ron_Swanson" title="Ron Swanson">Ron</a> for her school's field trip assignment to city hall. Ron initially resists, but soon espouses his <a href="/wiki/Libertarianism" title="Libertarianism">libertarian</a> beliefs to her. He illustrates the concept of taxes by eating 40% of Lauren's lunch, to compare his actions to those of the government. She eagerly accepts his anti-government views. The next day, Lauren's furious mother reveals her daughter's assignment was "Why Government Matters", and that Lauren simply wrote "It doesn't". Ron apologizes, and later tells Lauren she should keep her views on government to herself until she gets older. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Road_Trip_(Parks_and_Recreation)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"Road Trip" was written by <a href="/wiki/Harris_Wittels" title="Harris Wittels">Harris Wittels</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Troy_Miller_(film_producer)" title="Troy Miller (film producer)">Troy Miller</a>.
