Quite frankly, as this episode was not necessarily AS gawked about as the episodes before and after, I haven't went out of my way to squeeze it out bit by bit, and to think I managed to get the literary meanings of Sundae Muddy Sundae and The Final Wreckening (people STILL haven't realized how grouchy and pessimistic Chester sounded when he made the comment that triggered everyone?) after HOURS of critical thinking (one-and-a-half hours which went to making a flow-chart about just one ten-second scene). I haven't straight-up analyzed The Bold and the Bootyful per se.

I would make an objective argument about The Bold and the Bootyful, but since that requires talking about the pros and cons and the rules state that I have to state ONLY the pros, I'll state the pros.

-A prop from TDA (the pirate ship) makes its return.

-Zoey starts to get suspicious about Mal.

-Alejandro's lasting effect on the plot is shown, thus cementing him as a supporting character for the overall plot.

-While I currently haven't found a literary meaning from the episode, it ends up almost directly tying in with the introductory scene of the finale.

And that's about all there is to it.
