Episode at a glance (minor spoilers):
Big Bang joins IC as both groups celebrate their 10th year in 2016!
Staying in a studio setting, they had a dance battle, showed their acting chops and did an anonymous vote over certain questions pertaining to their group (e.g "did you think a member would not have made it without Big Bang").
The last segment was a follow up to last week's Santa Academy. They just sat around with the newly crowned santa to talk about people who did a good deed.

My Review (minor spoilers):
I said it last week and will say it again. Very often the best episodes are those where the members just talk and poke fun at each other.
Nothing much happened during the Big Bang segment but time flew by. The talk show format worked because Big Bang were spontaneous and funny in nature.
The acting between Seungri and Yang Se-Hyung was so funny that i watched it a few times. Se-hyung's gibberish when it comes to foreign language has been used so many times, but this is seriously the funniest yet!
I look forward to part 2!
The Santa Academy part 3 was a surprise because i thought this episode would focus solely on Big Bang. The segment, though meaningful, is a little boring.
Not looking forward to part 4.
