Parks and Recreation shocked viewers on Thursday night after ousting Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) from office, not a route fans would've expected the show to go after the NBC comedy worked so hard to make her a city councilwoman. [...] even the writers hadn't initially planned on it. Once we committed to having a recall, it was like, 'Well, if she wins the recall vote, then she's just back where she was before.' "There's a lot of comedy coming up, and we had a lot of fun with what she does as a dead man walking or as a lame duck, so to speak," Poehler says. "The next two episodes are largely about Leslie with a massive ticking clock on her career and trying desperately to jam through some last-second [stuff]," Schur adds. If nothing challenging is happening in her life, if her best friend doesn't leave town or if she gets elected to office and just everything she wants to accomplish, she's very easily able to accomplish, then you can't really tell the story of how to stem the tide of cynicism, so occasionally we have to knock her around a little bit.
