6. Walt Whitman's Oh Captain! My Captain!
Which Episode It Can Be Found In: Skytanic When a bomb threat is made before the maiden voyage of the incredibly expensive and highly unnecessary Excelsior airship, Sterling's mother, Malory Archer, takes it upon herself to take the case. By doing so, she also makes sure her rival, Trudy Beekman, misses her opportunity to take the trip. Malory uses the opening lines of Oh Captain! My Captain! during her thankfully ignored seduction attempts of the Captain of the Excelsior. While the Whitman poem laments the death of the United States' 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, the thing the viewer truly laments in this episode is Mallory Archer's continuous attempts to seduce older powerful men in front of her already deeply scarred son.
