"Mrs. Ludgate-Dwyer Goes to Washington"
As we get closer to the end, things start to take there turn. April doesn't know what she wants to do with her life and has no idea how to tell Leslie about it, since well, Leslie has a five year plan for her future in government.
As they both go to Washington DC to talk about their National Park plan, they talked to everyone from Senator Booker to Senator John McCain. Most of the time, Leslie being Leslie, when finding McCain, he literally was trying to avoid her but she got the best of him.
Later as April and Leslie relaxed from their meetings, they talked on the bench near the Lincoln Memorial. That's when April tells her the truth and well, Leslie didn't take it too well and left.
Meantime, back in Pawnee Andy, Ben and Ron all try to find April a career that she would want to do. She can't work at Ron's shop, so Ben tries again the accounting firm, but as soon as they like her resume, April turned it down.
After Leslie cooled off with a breakfast chat with Madeleine Albright, she goes back to April and apologize. She takes April to the a place where they help with young adults on what career they are qualified at and it turned out that April would love to do just that, where she can tell someone what job to take and boot them out.
This was just another home run episode. I love the relationship of April and Leslie as it's a like the mentor and mentee. For the first time in a while, April shows so true feelings in that great April style way. Also we got to see and learn that Ron has brothers, you can tell with their fecal hair.
"Pie-Mary"
As Ben is planning his campaign with Jenn on what he should be doing. She advise that Leslie dials it down a bit from what she would do, like speak her mind and such. When Ben spoke about one of his plans, the reporters were on Leslie on why she wasn't entering the pie contest with the other candidates's wives.
That turned out to be a bigger than they thought. Then as Leslie was going to enter the contest, the leader of the women's advocate comes and tells her that she was going to support her until Leslie told her she was going to be cooking. Then she told Leslie that she would go against her and that lead to Ben coming out like a man telling his wife that he wants his pie.
Later Ben decided to make his own pie but in a cal-zone. Who doesn't love cal-zones? And soon as they're at the contest, Ben presents his pie until a group of men protest on how men shouldn't bake.
Soon Ben was going to apologize but then had Leslie speak about her and what she had to say about all this stuff that has turn up. She goes on saying how a good mom she is and how a hard worker but also talked about Ben because he's running for Congress.
Meanwhile, April told Ron that with her new job she's going to have to move. So Ron asked her for his key back and when she got the box that she put it in, it wasn't there and it turned out to be a hunt that Ron couldn't say no to.
They went from the movies to the shoeshiners bench that Andy use to work, which was in a Congressman's office. Until Ron gave up the hunt after finding a letter that was written by April to Andy. And soon April remember where she put the key, it was under a tree in the park. 
She tells Ron that the tree reminded her of him so strong and quiet. Soon we learn that Ron changed the locks to his house a couple of times a year. But also that he barred his gold under that tree, which he thinks he removed it.
Also we got to see Donna spending some time with Garry, who lost his wedding rings, keys and belt in a small drain outside the office.
This was such a great episode. It was hilarious all around. We got to see another hunt for Ron Swanson to do. We only got two more
weeks until we say goodbye, I'm not ready to say goodbye.
You can catch the farewell season of "Parks & Recreation" Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
