Locke & Key - The Snow Globe

The show picks up for its final season with the Lockes having an uneventful few months since the end of Dodge (Griffin Gluck). Meanwhile, Captain Frederick Gideon (Kevin Durand) continues to search for the door to no avail. He gets some momentary assistance when Nina (Darby Stanchfield) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) find a snow globe and matching key which accidentally unleashes two demons (Diana Bentley and Susanna Fournier) determined to help the Captain. The snow globe, basically allowing someone to enter a snowy version of the reality of Key House when the key is inserted, is another fun addition to the show’s oddities (as is the animal key shown earlier in the episode). Although Bode gets trapped in the globe for much of the episode, Nina and Kinsey (Emilia Jones) are able to defeat the demons trapping them in the mirror.

Hack/Slash: Back to School #1

Set in the early days of Cassie Hack‘s days of hunting slashers with her partner Vlad, the opening issue of the four-issue mini-series teases an epidemic of children murdering their own parents while the larger story involves Cassie being invited to join a monster hunter school for girls (after seeing them dispatch a bunny killer in a diner). Lots of gore, off-beat humor, panic, and ominous overtones here from writer and artist Zoe Thorogood. In other words, just what you’d expect from a Hack/Slack comic.

Bob's Burgers - The Pickleorette

“The Pickleorette” is an example of a common trope on Bob’s Burgers where one of the members of the family gets them involved in a situation that quickly snowballs taking poor Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) along for the ride. In this case it’s Linda (John Roberts) attempting to make up for accidentally burning Gretchen‘s (Larry Murphy) lookbook by bending over backward to help Gretchen throw a sloppily-planned bachelorette party for her sister Jestain (Rachel Dratch) in which none of her bridesmaids can attend and the strip club where the event was meant to conclude turns out to be closed for fumigation.

With the fate of the entire city at stake, Marc Spector cannot fail… no matter what the cost.

Wednesday - You Reap What You Woe

Parents Weekend brings a family therapy session for the Addams and the return of Gozmez (Luis Guzmán) to town for the first time since his graduation from Nevermore Academy. Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) confronts both parents about the murder that occurred which allows for some flashbacks to events. The sudden apparent suicide of the coroner leaving an auspicious note about that murder case from long ago also gives Sheriff Galpin (Jamie McShane) the excuse he’s been looking for to finally arrest Gomez Addams for murder.
