Overall it was just two half-baked premises, poorly executed, and peppered with product placement that's barely even satire anymore.
The coffee shop story was just a tired string of played out nonsense. We get it, you have two terrible people running a terrible place for other terrible people to get overpriced coffee. The writing for the show as a whole has become so self-aware that it's not even trying to make clever parodies of the situation. It just presents a poop on a platter and goes "here's things we don't like".
The lifeguard story, while at least an attempt at character drama, was still super weak. A Lifeguard performing CPR would hold a high degree of respect, regardless of it being a family member. And when did it go from a SeaPark to a regular water park?
The kids picking up the pool and leaving was easily the funniest moment.
Family Guy needs to just bow out peacefully.
