haven't watched yet, but can you tell any difference so far without Harmon?

Not really..at least I couldn't. This episode was just a kinda weird one for me. Something was off, but the tone and everything felt the same.

Also, something looked different about Donald Glover. May be putting on some weight now that he's got music royalties rolling in.

Yes. You can tell. There's cool ideas, but he always had cool ideas in service of story and character. Here, it exists just to be goofy. And there is a little too much hand holding of Jeff telling the audience his motivations, things he never would've done. Jeff warns us that the Dean isn't wearing a costume, Harmon would've expected us to catch that. It's a subtle difference, but it affects the tone of the show.

I did like they have continued to mock Jeff's "big speech", so they did subvert their own structure, which I like. The show is all about subversion.

"I'll bring over Friends With Benefits. No subtext."

I love the Dean.
