Archer (season 8)

Archer is in a coma as a result of the gunshot wounds he sustained from Veronica Deane. While in the coma, he dreams he is a private-eye set on finding justice for his murdered partner Woodhouse, following his comatose self unconsciously hearing from Malory Archer of Woodhouse's death. Archer butts heads with detectives Figgis and Poovey (who is a man in Archer's dream, though he still retains Poovey's female face, makeup and voice). Archer interrogates Woodhouse’s dealer Krieger, a bartender at a club owned by the crime boss known as Mother. Impressed with his experience in the war, Mother agrees to help Archer find Woodhouse’s killer but, in exchange he must get information on Len Trexler, the biggest mob boss in town. While spying on Trexler’s second in command Dutch Dylan, Archer runs into Poovey and together they clumsily stop Trexler’s sex trade scheme. Poovey is sent to help find jobs for all the abducted women, while Archer returns to his office only to find that it has been ransacked and Woodhouse’s envelope of clues has been stolen. Charlotte VanderTunt enters, and hires Archer to murder her.

Charlotte elaborates on her request for Archer to murder her, explaining that she actually wants him to help her fake her own death in exchange for $10,000. Charlotte has already provided a convincing body double and Archer comes up with a plan. After their plan is set, Archer and Charlotte stop at club Dreamland, where they find Figgis and Poovey are talking to Mother. Dutch hires Krieger to build him new feet. While getting ready to launch Charlotte’s car off of a cliff, Archer and Charlotte are caught red handed with the dead body by detectives Figgis and Poovey.

Archer and Charlotte are arrested for the murder of "Bernice". While in holding, Archer recruits the help of the Dreamland band, in for drug offences. Archer and the band rescue Charlotte and the whole gang fights Poovey, who is captured and handcuffed to a pipe. They escape and find just how crazy Charlotte really is.

Archer must convince the Vander Tunts that Charlotte has been kidnapped, while Krieger reveals too much about his past.

Lana tries to seduce Archer for a cut of the ransom as he races Figgis and Poovey to collect the money.

All roads lead to Len Trexler as Archer and the gang try to avoid unfriendly ghosts.

Archer and Trexler try to escape a rampaging Dutch by telling the world's worst knock-knock joke.

Season finale where Archer finally discovers who actually killed Woodhouse. Poovey comes back home to find that all her Chinese sex slave hostages have left, leaving nothing but a goodbye note. Episode ends with a credit scene "dedicated to George Coe", the actor who voiced Woodhouse in the earlier seasons of the series.
