Rounds: Here.

Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.

Just the summary for now, as I'm still very behind.

First break: DISH FINE ("An evil plate")

It's rather poor to use the DISH in the mix when it is also being referred to by the clue for FIENDISH.  I'm sure David was wincing a little over there.

David's talk is about the words flak and flack.
